The Making of Friends
Author: Unknown
If nobody smiled and nobody cheered, and nobody
helped us along;
If every man looked after himself and good things all
went to the strong;
If nobody cared just a little for you, and nobody
thought about me,
And we all stood alone in the battle of life, what a
dreary old world it would be.
Life is sweet just because of the friends we have made
and the things in common we share.
We want to live on, not because of ourselves, but
because of the people who care.
It’s giving and doing for somebody else, on that all
life’s splendor depends,
And the joy of the world when you have summed it all
up is found in the making of friends.
LET’S BE FRIENDS
Margaret at 17 years old.
