A DEAR FRIEND

A true friend is always there for you, even if it’s a little thing,
Even when you moan and groan at the woe’s life doth bring.
They will laugh with you in joy and cry with you in sorrow,
They’ll hang in there with you, even ‘til the morrow.

They’ll always go with you, you know, even that extra mile,
You tell them how great they are and not realizing, they’ll just smile,
I can look back on yesterday and all the days before,
And know that my friend is that, and much, much more.

This friend has many friends, and I cam truly tell you why,
They’re always there for everyone, always standing by,
In the brightness of our lives, or in the dark shadows in the night,
This friend is always with us, never, ever out of sight.

This friend means the world to me, will always be in my heart,
And if they ever need me, Lord, give me courage and strength to impart,
Don’t let me lag behind if my friend should ever need me,
My friend has been an eternal inspiration, Lord, let me in turn to this friend be.
