Finding meaning in words unspoken br mending hearts that once were broken br wearing your love like a highly prized token br only asking for the same in return. br br Picking you up when you are down br fixing a smile that was once a frown br drying your tears before you drown br not thinking of what they will earn. br br Providing a shoulder to rest your head br saving you from the things you dread br ending rumors before they can spread br they're never too mean or too stern. br br Who are these people I'm speaking of br who's hearts are filled with care and love br who will stand by your side when push comes to shove br and who's friendship will never grow old. br br I'm speaking of friends who will last forever br the special kind whose sole endeavour br is to protect your bonds so they may never sever br in a world that is lonely and cold. br br Friends like this are hard to find br and few exist in all mankind br but they will form the ties that bind br and that is worth more than gold.
