Friendships

We have many friends throughout our lives
but the ones that you can really trust
And can finally drop your defensive walls
The ones that you can share your secrets with
Are the hardest and rarest treasures of all

Friends can be crazy at times, but those are the best
They keep you on the phone till all hours of the night
Crying and laughing with you until you have no voice
When you feel you have no strength left and forget what you believe in
They lend you a shoulder to lean on and help you to uphold your faith

Friends can be in our life for a short time
Or they can be there for many years to come
No matter the length of time they are in your life
There is always a reason they have come
Though we may not always understand why

True friends are very few and far between
I've never told them just how much they mean to me
Or how they may have helped change me in some way
I've never told them the impact they have made in my life
Or that they will always have a special place in my heart
