~ A True Friend ~ There are many I can call friend, But few are true and forever, One that I'm proud to call my friend, Will stand by me in all kinds of weather. A friend is someone who will stand the storms, Stay by you when the weather gets rough, Who will embrace your needs as their own, Who will love you no matter what. A friend is one who will accept your hand, Who will help pick you up when you fall, Who will forgive your defects, Who will accept you moods and all. Yes, there are many I can call friend, But few are true and forever, The one that I'm proud to call my friend, Will stand by me in all kinds of weather. Mary Silva
