Observations on Friends and Friendship

I’ll ask you one question
What are friends for?
I’ll tell you the answer to that one
Friends are for caring and helping
Friends are able to accept when you have done wrong
Friends are forgiving
All this adds up and makes you perfect
The many jams you have helped me out of
Like the time when I was broke
And I smashed the glass bowl in the shop
Did you call me clumsy?
No
You just paid for the bowl
Then refused to let m pay you back
And the time when I brok my arm
By trying to fly off the trampoline
Did you laugh?
No
You talked to me all the way
To the hospital
And held my hand
All this talk of how wonderful you are
Is making it hard for me to tell you the bad news
My family is moving to California and
Naturally I have to go with them
I don’t know how I will last without you there
To help me out of my messes
But I know that nobody will ever take up
The large portion of my heart that you own
You will forever be my friend
And I hope I will be yours too
