A TRUE FRIEND
by BenjaminU Anabaraonye © 2009

A friend in time of need
Is a friend indeed
A friend that sticks close
Closer than a brother does

A true friend is a treasure
One that brings our hearts pleasure
Like the rare ruby, he's dear to us
A pricey pearl so precious

He is there to our troubles share
Always concerned about our welfare
He is kind, careful and candid
One trustworthy in every bid

His heart overflows with love and care
Our weary hearts to cheer
With sweet, soft speech healing hurt
His gentle touch brings us comfort

Communicating with dexterity
Great warmth and empathy
In days bleak, when we're weak
With a heart mild and meek

How hard it is to find a true friend!
In a world where treachery is the trend
But when he is found, oh, when found
Our joy shall know no bounds

Searching for a true friend today?
Then ask God to bring him your way
And as your mind paints a perfect effigy
Think of it, you can a true friend be
