What Makes a Friend

What Makes a Friend By Franklin Price 9/20/2014 What makes a friend I thought today As I was lying half awake Thinking of the friends I have They are a lot for goodness sake The best I married she's a sight Don't have to look she's at my side Through thick and thin she's always there My partner in life's awesome ride Without good friends what would life be Both old and new they fill the mind Some far away but close at heart In memories not hard to find I have digressed from title here Do not yell and do not curse For friends help ease a jumbled world To make things better when they are worse Out of the woodwork they appear As if by magic if we're in need Don't have to ask the offer's there Please let me help oh yes indeed The offer's made and if a friend No expectation of return in kind If you're a friend the return is there If they are ever in a bind Friendship's not a one way street At least it isn't meant to be It works both ways and when it's right I'm there for you and you for me To have a friend just be a friend To all you meet along the way And hope that when they speak of you I have a friend is what they'll say
