| TRUE FRIEND |
| What would I give for a true friend.
Would I give treasure. Would I give gold. That might give pleasure but Would the friendship hold. What would I give for a true friend, And how would I know that he's true. Would he flatter me. Would he bring to me All the things that are now over due. What in the world is a true friend. As friends I've had in the past. Have they stayed with me. Have they played with me. Why is it their love didn't last. What would I be as a true friend. Would I cherish him just 'cause he is he. Would I sing to him. Would I bring to him All those things that have turned into me. Would I not fly with my true friend Over valleys and orchards and plain. Would I reach for him. Would he reach for me Would we rest with each other till the sun shines again. What could I give to my true friend Surly treasures will rust in the rain. Would my treasure of love and a hug and a shove Grace his life and his spirit maintain. |
