Friends are Rare
Acquaintances may come and go
But true friends are rare indeed.
Because in every phase of life
Friends fill a special need.
Since you are that kind of friend
On whom I can rely.
I find myself at ease with you
Whenever you're nearby.
So whether we are face to face
Or whether we are apart
You hold a very important place
within my grateful heart...
