Friendship does not fade
but learns to wax
and wane like moonlit tide,
a long slow wake
the gentle proof that
stillness ever moved aside.

The oak that snaps
is not near half as wise
as reeds that bow
beneath the storming skies,
And real strength won’t wear armour and a frown,
real strength kneels,
and lifts those fallen down.
The gentlest hand,
adroit past shallow art,
should hold the world
and should not bruise a heart.

Oh god they've got a THIRD British celebrity called Tom Holland.
Technically Thomas Holland, not sure on the others.
Where are they getting them from?!
Is this some sort of conspiracy?
