Friendship

To you...
For being a friend
All the way to this end
My regards I send
to the family you tend

Assuredly...
This friendship we share
And for all we care
No one can dare
To come and tare
Or lay a snare
And even claim a share!

Know this... 
In life there are fiends
Yet they pretend 
To be your friends
May I contend
That to you
I shall remain to be that royal friend
