Analysis of Friendship Can Be Brittle
If friendship is in trouble, then
Decide if you should try
To fix whatever broke it when
You saw it start to die.
Repair the fence between you both
Give water for the garden's growth.
Begin to fix the bridge that was
Connecting both of you because
It helps support the ones who need
A strong connection to arrive
Which helps both of you to succeed;
Support for which some.
