A true friend is always near,To share your laughter and your fear.A true friend listens with the heart,And cheers you on in every part.A true friend stays through thick and thin,With them, the brightest joys begin.A true friend comforts when you cry,And lifts you up when spirits die.A true friend trusts and keeps you safe,Their love and care no one can chafe.A true friend shines through darkest days,And guides you gently through life’s maze.
