Friends

When you're at your lowest point and you think you cant go on A friend will lift your spirits up And make sure you're all right Some friends are there in sunshine But will leave you when it rains They are there when things are fine But wont stay for the hurricane Some people buy their friends, A dime a dozen, and that is very cheap Those shallow friendships will soon end But true friends are for keeps Some friends are there in summer But will leave you when it's cold When you've found a true friend You've found a pot of gold For: ' What a friend really is' contest 4 - 22- 2013

Yes, it's true ... some "buy" themselves friends, but that is not friendship .- FRIENDS ARE :"When you've found a true friend You've found a pot of gold" Very well written Joseph !!!! - Luck in contest!!! - oxox // Anne-Lise :)
