Analysis of Friends For Evermore

Tommy L. Maddox 1972 (North Carolina)



Honesty and trust,
desire and lust.
Friendship is true.
A part of my life,
you shall always be.

A friendship that never ends.
Your daughters I will cherish,
Our friendship I cherish more.

In song, in poem,
In heart, and soul.

A sister of my heart,
Friends forever more.

(Nicholas "The Younger" Lanier.) All the way forward in time to "A Street Car Named Desire."
