The Extra Mile - For a Friend

 
I would go a mile for you, friend You and me till this journeys end You, I will forever defend And go the extra mile When days are rough I will be here To talk and to share a sad tear Don't worry I am always near To make you laugh and smile When you are sick I will help you And I know you will help me too 'Cause you and me are stuck like glue Even when withered senile

A very worthy piece of your sentiment Constance, being a friend is not easy And challenges are not predictable.' Yet we can determine to do our best.'
