Buddhist Precept of Amity: Overview and poem - Special on Friendship Day

A poem on Amity

A gentle hand, a knowing smile,
Friendship whispers, "Stay awhile."
I can be me, no need to hide,
Accepted, loved, right by your side.

In amity, we rise and grow,
"Maitri bhava," lets kindness flow.
We meet as equals, heart to heart,
Playing a similar part.

To cherish life, to understand,
With friends beside, hand in hand.
"Maitri bhava" lights the way,
To value 'being', day by day.
