Friends

They are treasures, such a delight
 Taking you from gloom into light
 If you have feeligs of despair
 Friends comfort you, they will be there
 They are like stars shining so bright

 They won't leave, whatever your plight
 Giving you wings to soar in flight
 They will always have time to spare
  They are treasures

 They will never do things for spite
 They tell if you are wrong or right
 It's always good to have them near
 True friends are gems, precious and dear
 Shining for you in darkest night
 They are treasures
