     FRIENDS
             They first come about
                 When you're very young
                 Some are true some are not
                 Some stay with you for what you are
                 Others stay because of the things you've got

                  If you lose something your true friends
                  Will stay because they like having you around
                  Your other so-called friends
                  Will be very,very hard found

                  As you grow older you will gain new friends
                  And some of your old friends will stay in touch
                  But only your true friends will keep constant watch
                  Because only true friends would ever care that much

                  When your time comes to die
                  And you are finally laid to rest
                  The people who come to morn & weep
                  Will most likely be the ones who thought of you best

                  Of all the friends I've had so far in my life
                  I think I know the ones who are really true
                  I'm pretty sure I can say these things
                  But tell me are you?
