A True Friend
Why is a true friend so hard to find?
Come, take a step inside my mind.
I will tell you what it is they will do,
If really they are a friend so true.
For you, a true friend will always be there,
Through thick and thin, they will not care.
When it is you experience fear,
Your true friend will always near.
When life seems it is just to much,
To your aide a true friend will rush.
When your way out seems hidden, not always clear,
Your true friend will be there, your problems to hear.
For you, time is what a true friend will spend,
Seeking for your wounds to heal and mend.
They will gladly give for you their life and limb,
They will help you when you must sink or swim.
Have you ever had someone be untrue?
Your true friend surely knew what to do!
This person feels for you love and respect,
Your life it is they have sworn to protect.
Your true friend will always guard your back,
When all of your foes decide to attack.
Have you ever been filled with uncertainty and doubt?
Your true friends knows what your problems are about.
When it is you are feeling sorrow, misery and pain,
Their eyes will shed tears as the sky drops rain.
Such a friend is always honest and true,
Has someone ever dealt this way with you?
Why do such friends seem to be so few?
Thankfully I have one standing right in view.
You have really been there all of the time,
Because of you my life is honestly sublime.
What is it I can do to repay all the problems and fears you overcame?
The answer to this my friend, is I’ll always do for you, exactly the same!
Yes here we are the truest of friends we could be,
And I know we always will be, yes for all eternity.
