A true friend will always be there for you,
Through all of your struggles in the journey that is called life.

A true friend will always be there with a shoulder to cry on,
And kind words to cheer you up.

A true friend will always be there for you through thick and thin,
And through all of life’s joys and regrets.

A true friend will always have a smile on his/her face when you win,
And a “good try” and “great job” when you lose.

A true friend will always keep your secrets,
And make sure to lock the lock and swallow the key.

A true friend will always be there for you,
Even when it is not easy to help you.

A true friend will tell you what is smart and dumb,
And if you are truly smart then you will listen to them.

A true friend will be there when you dog dies,
Or even when you heart has been broken one too many times.

A true friend will be there when you world is crashing down,
Or even when you win a contest and get $3,000.

A true friend is always there,
Even when you are lying in a hospital bed with only a few days left to live.

A true friend is always there no matter what.
