Friend

ONCE IN A LIFE TIME COMES A SPECIAL FRIEND
A FRIEND WHO’LL DEFEND; A FRIEND WHO’LL NEVER BEND.
A FRIENDSHIP TO LAST TO THE VERY END.
IT TAKES SOMEONE SPECIAL TO STICK WITH YOU THROUGH THICK, AND THIN, NO MATTER WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN.

IT’S VERY RARE TO FIND SONE ONE TO STAND BY YOUR SIDE,
AND TO WHOM YOU DON’T HAVE TO HIDE OR HAVE LIED,
OR SOME ONE WHO’D CARE, NO MATTER HOW MANY TEARS YOU’V CRIED.
IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE IN A LIFETIME AND NEVER COMES AGAIN,
BUT WHATEVER COMES YOU’LL KEEP IT FOREVER.

SOME ONE BROUGHT INTO YOUR LIFE, THROUGH STRIFE THEY CRY,
THEY’LL STICK BY AS ANGELS FLY. SOME ONE YOU CAN TELL ALL,
YET REMAIN TALL, BRINING GREAT JOY, UNDERSTANDING NO ONE WILL KNOW AS YOU LET IT GO.
