true friends
----------------------


mates come,
and mates pass,
but friends stay,
they never pass,
they are more,
not just mates,
someone who cares,
who is always there,
a person who helps,
a person who shares,
they are friends,
friends who stay,
friends who live,
your hurt they'll heal,
your trust theyll keep,
when your down,
it's them you seek,
for happiness,
for council,
for help,
for guideance,
they will be there,
when your scared,
you know your way,
is with them ones,
the ones that stay!
