A friend is someone who listens
Is there through thick and thin,
Gives praises and understanding
Mends the heart within.

A friend will pass no judgement
Accept us as we are,
Will lend an ear or shoulder
Whether near or far.

At times if we should stumble
Or somehow loose our way,
Friends will be the stepping stone
and show us light of day.

They will laugh with us when happy
And cry with us when blue,
Will love without conditions
Hearts, sincere and true.

What is a friend, the question
The answer, very clear
A friend is You, for certain
My gift from God, I am sure!!

Thank you for being my friend.
