A friend is more precious than the
     rarest gem for it can only be looked
     at or worn, its coldness cannot
     soothe you, nor quiet your fears.

     Friends speak kind words, hug you,
     hold you in their hearts forever near.
     A friend will tell you if you're wrong
     but will not judge you .....

     A friend will stand beside you in a
     storm helping in your time of need never
     leaving you, regardless of their fears.

     A friend will always be there, be it times
     of anger or tears  They will laugh
     with you share your mistakes,
     never leaving for fear of judgement
     from their peers.

     A friend is forever, always there
     sharing, caring, a smile,
     a laugh and a tear.

     A friend is more precious than a
     rare gem, they are warm and loving
     & true friends will always be there.

     Friends know how to care,
         Friends know how to share,
             Friends show kindness.....
                 True Friends are always there.
