I need a friend to sit beside me

And talk with me,

I need a friend to laugh with me,

At my pranks and my naughtiness.

A friend to cheer me,

to encourage me,

to help me

In times of distress.

A friend who cares for me,

Who is concerned about me,

Who loves me,

Who understands me.

A friend to walk with me,

Hand in hand through

the journey of my life

Guiding me like an unwavering light.

O! dear me when will I find such a friend,

For whom, I asked my Almighty God

O will my friend ever come to me?

If only someone could help me!
