Re: Poem Needed

[Heather Norris <HGNorris@AOL.COM>]

Hi Kathy, I sent this to your email but I think you thought it was junk mail
because I see you deleted it. So I am posting it to the LISTSERV.  I also
sent you an URL for the Girl Scout Site I found it on.  If you need that
email me and I will send it to you again.

"This is probably not what you are looking for but I found the Girl Scout
Version on the net--it's sung as a round and is most often shortened to where
the troops only use the first two verses repeating them over and over again
in round format:

Make New Friends

Make new friends but keep the old,
One is silver and the other gold.

A circle's round, it has no end,
That's how long I want to be your friend.

I have a hand, and you have another,
Put them together and we have each other.

Sew good friends wherever you may roam,
You'll be welcome in my heart and home.

You help me and I'll help you,
And together we will make it through.

A fire burns bright, it warms the heart,
We've been friends right from the very start.

New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of the time!

Friends like you are one of a kind,
Very special, but hard to find.

Friends are real and friends are true,
If you love them they will love you too.

Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good, but old is best;

Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be.

Make new friends, but keep the old:
Those are silver, these are gold

Friends like you are one of a kind,
Very special but hard to find.

So good friend wherever you may roam,
You'll be welcome in my heart and home."
