Everyone needs a special friend
to help them on their way,
To pick them up when they are down,
To guide them when they stray.
To share a chat and cup of tea,
To work out hard decisions,
To lend a hand with household
chores and help them achieve
their ambitions.

A special friend is someone sincere,
Through good times and bad they
will always be near.
And if you have a special friend,
Be sure to treat them kind,
For in today's hard times of strife
they're a rare and valuable find!
