Friends can make you laugh

Friends can make you cry

Friends are always there

Friends never ask why

Friends let you vent

Friends don't tire of you

Friends are never spent

Friends stay wired to you

My friends deserve my trust

Of that I am most sure

I test their patience thus

I know they are my cure

When friends are in need

When life holds them in fear

A friend is there indeed

A friend is always near

So, my friend I hope you see

Indebted to you, I'll always be

You are my strength and reserves

When the world gets on my nerves.

W.P.
