Friends are the sunshine of life,
They help to lessen heartache and strife.

Each friend represents a world in us,
Often not awakened nearly enough.
A friend always brings out the best in you,
By lending support in all that you do.

A good friend is a real treasure,
Sharing in sad times and those that bring pleasure.

Value your friendships for what there is in it;,
Not far ways you can benefit.

Think of your friend as a sheltering tree,
Shading you from harsh times and bringing glee.

So, the best way to help yourself is to find a friend,
Then you’ll have support until the very end.
