Friends care about your answer, br When they ask how you are. br Friends stand by you through thick and thin, br When others desert you like a sinking ship. br br Friends help you find yourself at every cost, br When you feel completely lost. br Friends quietly and with patience listen, br And speak up when the time is ripe. br br Friends never betray your trust, br They are perfect confidants. br Friends keep quiet and don’t judge, br And never for long hold a grudge. br br Fiends encourage you when you are low, br And cheer the loudest when you are raring to go. br Friends firmly tell you, br When you are overstretching and must say no. br br Friends tell you, you are worth more, br Then what you are settling for. br Friends have the knack of seeing the invisible br And are always accessible. br br Friend like evergreens are around all year, br Whatever the season in your life, they are there.
