A friend who is there for you, is one who is true.
One who walks away when trouble brews is not a friend for you.
A friend is like a rare gem a diamond or a pearl,
And should be treasured, for few will come into your life
Will care to be a sister or a brother.

For people have there own concerns their own dreams to realize,
and have little time for others with their sorrows and their joys.
When you have such a friend, it puts a glow around your heart
And the world seems a better place, with gladness all about,
for friendship is a love that asks for nothing in return,
and it is a priceless treasure for which we all yearn.
