In Search of a True Friend

My mood gets low,  
Heart wants to grow.  
Need a friend to solace my sorrow,  
Without friend, life is narrow.  

I seek company in bonafide nature,  
I flee to nature to get the pleasure.  
Life is a bare fiend, if trust is never,  
A true friend found makes joy forever.  

Nature is soothing, listener and betrays never,  
I need a true friend, whom I can share.  
A true friend is like nature,  
Who won't betray me ever.
