A Friend when you are in Need

I have been your friend, solid and true,
In times of trouble, been there for you,
Making memories from all of those good and bad days.
Our friendship has always remained strong,
There for us, as our lives moved along,
Even when time has taken us in different ways.

If life today is making you sad,
Remember all those good times we had.
Let our friendship from back then, return to bring a smile.
Let our laughter be found once again,
So that this sadness cannot remain.
Let it show you that your life today is still worthwhile.

If you have problems getting along,
And you find that you don’t feel so strong,
Remember that these problems of today, will not last.
Those tough days we once knew, are no more,
This too will pass, as they have before,
It will fade away, as those bad times have in the past.

Friendship is gentle, patient and kind,
Bringing hope when it is hard to find,
Ready to give help in those times when you are in need.
I’m always there if times become tough,
Ready to help you get through the rough,
For a friend when you are in need, is a friend indeed.
