Friends are like getting a bonus is this life,
They are there for you even in times of strife,
They bring a joy and a closeness when they come,
They love you and respect you when all is said and done
They fill a certain place in your heart,
To stay there even when you are apart,
The memories that fill your mind,
Of things said and done at different times,
They can cheer you up with just a word,
And are there when you need to be heard,
Weather your close in distance or far apart,
These feelings come from the depths of our heart,
So when you need strength or a friend that can lend,
A helping hand, an ear that you can bend,
Or when you need the closeness of a friend,
Look inside your heart for that is where I am
