Friendship Helps

Friendship Helps

Friendship helps us through the good and the bad,
It picks us all up when we are feeling sad,
It helps us decide who we really can trust,
And in society that is really a must.

The people around us they laugh and they tease,
But nobody cares and nobody sees,
Our friends are the ones who make us feel good,
They laugh at our jokes and make us feel like we should.

Real friends are the ones, who tell us straight to our faces,
Who don’t go behind our backs and talk about us,
But when they are close to us they make a fuss,

Real friends are hard to find so don’t let them slip away,
Over some other friends who your trust they will betray,
Keep people at arm’s length, and then let them get close,
Because the ones who try and the ones you need the most.

Our friends are our helplines the ones, who are always there,
They are the people who we rely on the ones, who really care,
So choose your friends carefully don’t let your standards slip,
Because the fake friends are lurking and they’ll make your world tip.
