Ode to a true friend

A true friend will never leave you behind, or tell you any nasty lies.
A true friend will visit you on those days you say, "I want to be alone."

A true friend will brighten your day,
A special friend who always knows what to say.
And a true friend will make you laugh until you're holding your stomach in pain.

A true friend will try to help all they can,
A true friend will not give up or call you hurtful words...especially behind your back.

A true friend fights for your love and respect,
A true friend has qualities others lack.

A true friend talks about your feelings.
A true friend will be as gentle and sweet as window chimes.

A true friend won't forget about you or the memories you shared.
A true friend will always be there to hold your hand.
