true friends are like gems

they do not need any make up or polish

those around need not act or pretend

for true friends know us inside out

there is no need to sugar words

no need to market oneself

true friends understand every mood

and communicate with minds and gestures

rather than words

true friends can create magic

they can transform the world

all those under their influence

become blessed too
