Read the following poem, and then choose the correct answer.

In the vast realm of friendships, a treasure untold, A bond so pure, more precious than gold. A poem I weave, with words that shall convey, The beauty of friendship, lighting our way.

Like a gentle breeze on a warm summer's day, Friendship whispers softly, never to betray. Through joy and sorrow, hand in hand we tread, In the tapestry of life, our friendship widespread.

Through laughter and tears, we find solace in each other, A shoulder to lean on, a friend like no other. With shared dreams and aspirations, we unite, Supporting each other, shining in friendship's light.

In moments of doubt, when shadows may loom, Friendship emerges, dispelling the gloom. With comforting words and understanding eyes, We lift each other up, as true friends recognize.

Through seasons that change, our friendship holds strong, A beacon of hope when things go wrong. We celebrate victories, big and small, Cheering each other, standing tall.

In the garden of friendship, trust takes root, Nurturing the bond, bearing sweetest fruit. We listen, we care, in empathy we partake, For in true friendship, hearts forever awake.

So let us cherish these connections we find, The gift of friendship, a treasure divine. A poem of unity, loyalty, and love, Friendship, a blessing sent from above.
