True Friends

True friends are like stars
Some are near and some are far
They will always be there
to calm you in your time of fear

True friends are like the sun
Wishing brightness for everyone 
Always wanting the best for you
happiness, health, prosperity too

True friends are like the rain
Time to time the truth to say
Truthfully telling how they feel
You may detest it, this friend is real

True friends are like the moon
A shining light to remove your gloom
Always lending a helping hand
Even when you thought there was no one

True friendship lives on forever,
Through rough or pleasant weather
Have you tried being a true friend too, 
this friendship may just return to you

Nice piece Nedra. It flows beautifully and the message it resonates is authentic.
