"True Friends"
By Dorothy Conrad-Wolff
I wish to extend best wishes,
To all friends so tried and true,
The ones to receive these wishes,
Dear friend it is you.
Dearest friends, it is known,
For friends are very rare;
Are not like the hay unsown,
Growing every-where.
I regard you as a precious gem,
The most precious God can make,
It is very hard to find them,
And like true friends, are hard to break.
In life's pathway, I know you are
A true friend when in need,
But my dear, just bare in mind,
A true friend is a friend indeed.
