They help you out through times of trouble,
They make you smile and take away your frown,
When you feel lonely they give you a cuddle,
And when you need them most they are always around.
They bring you joy and take away your sorrow,
They give you strength when you feel weak,
They lift your spirits high when you feel low,
And when you are nasty they just turn the other cheek.
When you are confused or unsure they help clear your mind,
They are a guiding light if you feel lost in the dark,
When others walk away they stay by your side,
And they never forget you even when you are apart.
When you feel insecure they make you feel safe,
They make you laugh and take away your tears,
They listen to you when you have something to say,
And they give you courage to help you overcome your fears.
They bring you pleasure and ease your pain,
They comfort and console you when you are upset,
They calm your nerves when you are anxious and afraid,
And when they give opinions or advice it is unbiased and honest.
They never break any promises they make you,
When others let you down on them you can depend,
They ask for nothing in return for everything they do,
And it is all of these qualities that make them true friends.
