Someone who does things with you,
Someone who keeps your secrets.

Someone who sometimes gets angry with you,
Someone who might hurt your feelings sometimes
even when they don't mean to.

A friend is
Someone who comforts you when you're sad,
Someone who laughs with you when you're happy.

Someone who enjoys your company.

A friend is
Someone you'll remember always
Even when they grow up and move away.

A friend is
Someone who is loyal and says good things about you,
Someone who gets mad if someone else is mean to you.

A friend is
A link to someone's humanity like food for the soul to share,
Someone to hold onto when life's follies bring despair.

F-frank, R-righteous, I-intrepid, E-earnest, N-noble, D-decent

A friend is a friend—always!
