True Friend

A true friend is God's treasured gift
that money cannot buy.

A loved one who will be always there
to lend me an ear when I need to be heard.

Pat my back to let me know
it's going to be all right
or that I did great.

Hold my hand when I'm about to fall.

Share with me life's triumphs and failures.

One with whom I can dare to be myself,
with whom I can show my all.

True friendship is love
that can surpass pain and sorrow,
no matter how deep...

My friend, I hold you close to my heart.

And for as long as my mind can think
and my heart can beat,
we will never be apart...
