The Truth Of Friendship

We have gone mining in search for gems,
But at the cave entrance, it's covered with stems.
But good that we've got an unbreakable axe,
And in front of the cave, we meet my horse, Max.
When we gallop outside, we see lots of flowers,
We'll go in the field and talk for hours.
We talk about friendship, hope, love and care,
That is what makes the entire world fair.
The thorns are what cause nasty fights,
You can fight until midnight.
But keep in mind, to be honest,
Everybody has to be modest.
I ought to be happy, glad to be true,
The door of my heart will be open to you.
The truth about friendship is a shining star,
But inside my heart, it's truly bizarre...
