What Makes a Friend
What Makes a Friend

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
