A Special Friend

Everyone needs a special friend

to help them on their way,

To pick them up when they are down,

To guide them when they stray.

To share a chat and cup of tea,

To work out hard decisions,

To lend a hand with household

chores and help them achieve

their ambitions.

A special friend is someone sincere,

Through good times and bad they

will always be near.

And if you have a special friend,

Be sure to treat them kind,

For in today's hard times of strife

they're a rare and valuable find!
