Faithful Friends

A friend closer than a brother,
A friend like no other.
A friend in which to confide,
A friend that nothing can hide.

A friend that is a friend without thinking,
A friend to you when others are shrinking.
A friend from long ago and still now,
A friend when all is lost, and you have won somehow.

A friend that came to help you carry on,
A friend that tells you that you are never alone.
A friend that can repair and mend,
A friend that is there till the very end.
