A Shoulder To Cry On
What would we do without friendships
It'd sure be a lonely existence
Life would have no meaning, no purpose
No one to brag to for instance
To brag about all our many successes
To talk to when things go wrong
A shoulder to cry on every once in a while
We don't always sing happy songs
It's really quite normal and actually healthy
These feelings of angst and despair
It wouldn't be normal if we're always upbeat
So it's good to be able to share
Why do we need these really close friends
Kind of obvious wouldn't you think
No one's a solitary ship on the ocean
Need friends to help in a wink
That's why this site is so important to me
The friendships I've made in a year
Are hard to replace, this unique li'l group
Your friendships I hold very dear
