  Friendship





  • Friendship smells like red roses from a lovely garden when we are wandering through.



  • Friendship tastes like sweet colorful cupcakes pulled from a hot oven and eaten for dessert.



  • Friendship feels like a huge puzzle that is connected together.



  • Friendship looks like lovely children playing on the playground  under a colourful  rainbow.



  • Friendship sounds like a church choir singing loudly.
