A True Friend

A true friend never walks away.

A true friend will always stay.

A true friend looks out for you.

A true friend will guard your secrets,

Like a precious gift.

A true friend is there for you

To give you a helpful lift.

A true friend tries to make you smile.

Tries to replace that frown.

They may not always succeed,

But they rarely let you down.

These arms for you are open.

This heart for you does care.

And when I think you need me,

I'll try to always be there.

I'll listen to your fears.

I promise not to laugh.

Comfort your falling tears.

I'll make this friendship last.

I'll keep you near to my heart.

I'll always hold you dear.

Even when we're miles apart.

Even when you're here.

I hope I am to you,

Everything you are to me.

For the friendship we have

Is a special one indeed.

I wish you all the happiness that you hold in your heart

today for always. I hope and pray you will never be blue

till the bitter end for our friendship that is so true.

I am here for you today and if I should ever stray,

Just say "hey" come back here I need you this day.

Whenever you fall or need a friendly ear, just know

I am here for you,  this you should never fear.

May God Bless you for ever more, and keep your heart

as true as can be, because my friend I love you and that

you can depend.

Friends Always and Forever Elaine
