TRUE FRIENDS

We All Travel Down The Road Of Life

Meeting Friends Along The Way.

Some Pass Our Company Quickly

While Others Decide To Stay.

Friends Come In All Shapes And Sizes

From Fat, To Tall, To Thin.

In Reality It's Not Their Looks That Count

It's The Person That Lies Within.

There Are Friends Who Like To Party

And Are Always Having Fun,

It's When The Parties Ended                         

You Will Find That They Are Gone.

So What Happens When You Hurt

And Are Laden With Despair?

You Feel You Can Not Go On

And The Pain Is Too Much To Bare.

You Reach Out For Your Buddies

And Find That You're A

It Seems The Party Is Over

And There Is No One Left At Home.

That Is When You Discover True Friends.,

The Ones Who Really Care.

When All Your Good Time Buddies Leave

You Will Find Your Friends Still There.

They Take The Time To Listen,

They're Concerned About How You Feel.

It Is In Times Of Trouble When You Find

Which Friendships Are Truly Real.

Never Forget That Having Friends

Requires Friendship Too.

You Need To Care And Be There

Just Like They Were With You.

So Next Time A Friend Is In Trouble,

Stop And Think Before You Walk Away,

And Never Let Yourself Forget

That True Friends Are Here To Stay.
