A true friend always stays with us
He will pray to God for Him to bless
He will look not friendship as cheap
Upon us, kind acts, he will ever heap
He will respect our heart and feelings
He will support us in all our dealings
He will stay when our life goes bad
He will stop us from becoming mad
Our sorrows will give him shivers
All needed goods, he just delivers
For our debts, he borrows and pays
At all times, his love, he displays
When we weep, he will wipe of tears
He will make us sleep removing fears
A chance to help, he will always demand
He will obey strictly each of our command
He will not be a friend to our critics
And those playing against us tricks
In a nutshell, a friend is the best support
He is our favorable witness in any court.
