Friend Direction



Friends are always better when they find you while you’re beat
Caring and repairing you, they make you feel complete.

They’ll always make you better from your hands down to your feet
And then they’ll help you out again, if ever you repeat.

Friends are always better if you sometimes don’t agree
‘Cause if we always think the same, what kind of friends are we?

It takes some trust to disagree with those in company
So it will never hurt to show some honesty

Friends are always better if you help them be their best
And if they share their problems, then you never make a jest.

For you don’t know what they may go through when they get depressed
Make sure they know you love them, and put their worries to rest.

Friends are always better when they know that you’ll stay true
I know for one I like to know that I can lean on you.

Never I’ve felt better when the world is just us two
And if we ever fell, I know that we can get us through.

    it's a bit of a childish poem but I think it's a cute little thing.
