True friends are hard to find,
but you’ve been there through thick and thin,
through all of life’s losses and wins.
like a gem, you sparkle and shine.
Ever willing to offer a listening ear,
and wipe away every tear.
Like a true friend, you’re always kind,
Your warmth and forgiveness know no end,
you’re a true friend, a lifelong blend.
a warm embrace I will always find.
As you lend your ear to hear me out,
And wipe away my tears when I feel doubt.
Our friendship has stood the test of time,
you stand by me in every storm,
you keep me safe, you keep me warm.
our bond will always shine.
With your unwavering support,
A shining light, a comforting fort.
I am so lucky you are mine.
True friends are rare, it’s true,
But I am blessed to have one in you.
Thank You for Being My Friend
