the world is full
full of hatred, love, and fear
fear can be gone
when a friend is near

when i look around
lots of people i do see
thankfully enough
as one of your friends you chose me

a true friend 
is a very rare thing
from deepest of shadows
happiness they can bring

thanks for being there
when times were tough
you gave me support
helped me out of the rough

you're a friend like no other
always willing to help this friend
which makes me appreciate this friendship
which i hope will never end
