And walk with a friend
And share my umbrella in the rain.

And take pride with a friend,
A friend can mean so much to me!

My Crayons
I had a box of crayons,
All shiny, straight and new.
I lent a friend one crayon,
And—oops—it broke in two!
My friend said she was sorry,
But I said “I don’t care,
“Cause now we both can color with one crayon—we can share!”
