In a garden where the lilies grow, We built a fortress, brick by brick, A friendship strong, with roots below, Against the storms, our hearts would stick. Paths diverged like rivers wide, Yet in our eyes, the same stars shine, Though distance in our lives abide, The love remains, a sacred sign. Time may alter land and sea, Yet bonds of soul refuse to fray, In echoes of our laughter free, Our friendship lights the darkest day.
