Every soul has a special few

Their life they never leave,

To share those special moments with

Whether you laugh, cry, or grieve.

No matter what you ask of them

They come back again and again,

Others may know and think of you in different ways

But they only know you as 'friend'.

Knowing your mind, your soul, your heart

More deeply than the rest,

It never ceases to amaze

How much a friend cares, test after test.

Friends always seem to show up

When you feel down and out, alone,

To bring you back onto your feet

And treat you as if on a throne.

No matter what changes occur in your life

Whether it be good or bad to them,

They continue to give their full support

Saying to you it's not even a problem.

You can joke, pout, scream, and fight

They can take it all,

That is what builds friendships strong

You know there will never be a wall.

Lover may come and go

In and out of your life,

But once you know you have a friend

He will always be by your side.

Love, what a precious, special thing

A endless constant that friends provide,

True friendships last a lifetime

Once you find one, hold on tight.
