True Friendship

True friends
are the ones who share
life's ups and downs
in laughter and tears

They truly understand
your dreams of the future
and your pains of the past
and remain steadfast at your side

They are a priceless treasure
not for what they say
not for what they do
but simply for all that they are

They touch your heart
and bond to your soul
their hurts are yours
your happiness theirs

What you share in a moment
is what True Friendship is
A special gift
That can last a lifetime.
