WHAT IS A FRIEND?

By Leola Snider Perkins

   A friend is someone
      you can tell your troubles to
   When it seems there is nothing
      in the world that you can do.

   When you feel your very lowest
      and the world is out of tune,
   It's a lift to see that friend
      walk into the room.

   This world is full of people
      who have such little care,
   It makes you fell so happy
      just knowing she is there.

   If you have a friend that's close to you
      the years fly swiftly past.
   Love and treasure that dear friend
      And she'll be true until the last!
