++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
We may weld the broken chain,
But the seam will still remain;
Time may heal the wounded bay,
But the seam will always stay.
=====
Thus, when friendship’s ties dissever,
They may clasp again, but never
Shall the mind, tho’ naught be spoken,
Cease to know they once were broken.
=====
But with friendship as the arm,
Broke, ’tis subject less toharm;
Wounded friendships last the longest,
And love’s knottiest ties are strongest.
