When you are sad,
I will dry your tears.
When you are scared,
I will comfort your fears.

When you are worried,
I will give you hope.
When you are confused,
I will help you cope.

And when you are lost
and can't see the light,
I shall be your beacon,
shining ever so bright.

This is my oath,
I pledge till the end.
Why you may ask,
because you're a friend.

In a friendship
We're free to expose,
Parts of ourselves
Nobody else knows.

The thing that sustains it,
And sets it apart,
Is not something spoken,
It's a bond of the heart.

True friends are rare,
In a lifetime two or three,
I'm so glad it happened,
Between you and me!
