"A friend is someone who truly cares,
A friend is someone who's always there,
A friend will be there in times of woe,
Talking, laughing and sometimes letting go,
times alone we sometimes need,
But coming back we will do indeed,
There may be times we may not agree,
For you are you and I am me,
We may argue because of that fact,
But our power of friendship will bring us back,
Cause the love in our hearts we feel inside
Is not something we would ever hide,
So come to me in times of need,
Cause you my dear always have a friend in me."
