Friends Are Where You Find Them

A donkey named Fred
Lived a life full of dread,
Though in a pasture all lovely and green.

He was lonely and sad
Hardly ever was glad,
For nowhere was a friend to be seen.

Then one morning in spring
He saw a marvelous thing
All purple and tall it did gleem.

"What a beautiful sight!"
And his heart it gave flight,
For he knew what this gift truly meaned.

This new tulip brought joy
Like a bright shiny toy,
Mother Nature was wise, yes indeed.

Even though all alone,
He knew now in his home,
Nature's spirit had left friends yet unseen.
