A FRIEND

A friend helps us know ourselves better.

When we need help they soon are there.

During good and bad times they are reliable.

True friends they always care.

A friend is like a warm blanket

on a cold and dreary day.

Someone who loves us for who we are.

Not for the things we do or say.

A friend appreciates our uniqueness.

They bring us laughter and cheer.

They give us comfort and consolation

when we are beset by pain and tears.

A friend is like a precious jewel

that brightens up our days.

Regardless of the worth of gems,
