Friends Poem by Joseph Walls

CHERISH YOUR DEAR FRIENDS
AND IT WILL LAST FROM BEGINNING TO END
HOLD THEM CLOSE TO YOUR SIDE
A NEW WORLD OPENS FAR AND WIDE
YOU MET THEM AND THEY ARE TRUE
IN YOUR MIND YOU HAVE A CLUE
GIVE THEM THE LOVE THEY WANT INDEED
AND THEY WILL BE THERE FOR YOU AND ME
TRUTH IS THE AMERICAN WAY
CHERISH THEM EACH NIGHT AND DAY
FRIENDS ARE THE PEOPLE WHO YOU TRUST
AND YOU KNOW THEY WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU IN THE DUST
SHOW THEM YOUR LOVE AND TELL THEM YOU CARE
CAUSE WHEN THEY NEED YOU, FOR YOU WILL BE THERE
