A Friend

There is a time when you meet someone,

Yet, know not who they will be;

This smile arises from their face,

There’s a glow for all to see;

Just then the jolly warmth appears,

And you feel like you belong;

They make you feel like you’re someone,

And that nothing can go wrong;

Among their shinning presents,

All their laughs and cheery voice;

It’s apparent in an instant,

This is your friend of choice;

There is nothing more important,

Then to feel like you belong;

With all the others that are there,

Your friend’s presence brings a song;

When others are all among you,

And your friend is with you too;

The tasks that you must conquer,

All simply melt away so soon;

You may not see your friend a lot,

Oh, maybe once a year;

But guarantee that when you do,

The room will fill with cheer;

So listen all to what I say,

And hold your friend in your heart;

Remember it was because of them,

Your friendship was to start.

Very seldom in one’s life,

This chance will come along;

With a smile that lasts forever,

And a happy welcome song.
