Dear Friend: If I gave you my word, even if only you heard: I still mean it.
If to my spirit you are true, I’ll be the same to you.
Your status as a beloved: I deem it.

In the event that we seal a bond: DNA or ideology sum –
as long as it’s right with the Lord, I’m in it FOR THE LONG RUN.

You can count on me. I mean it, hun.’
If I said I’ve got your back: I’m in it
FOR THE LONG RUN.

Whether we agree or not all of the time – is not an issue.
I guarantee that if it wells up your soul, I’ll spring the tissue because I’m IN IT with you.

I’m loyal
to the soil.

Like ashes-to-ashes and dust-to-dust,
I’m in it FOR THE LONG RUN and in God I trust.

My game is partly metaphysical; I hover but don’t thrust.
Wisdom manages my time and I’m rarely in a rush.

Life is a gift and it’s not to be taken for granted.
If I said, ‘I’m down with you!” please believe that I meant it.

I’m not in a friendship for “the good times,” I want the whole sum.
Friends are precious and very rare treasures,
I’m in it FOR THE LONG RUN.

A good friend never imposes but respects boundaries.
I’m Qui
Always in it FOR THE LONG RUN, it’s woven into my biology.

I don’t tire easily either.
