True Friendships Last A Lifetime



True friendships last a lifetime. They're certain and sure.
No matter what the crisis they always endure.

True friendships last a lifetime. They're loyal and real.
No matter what the secret they always conceal.

True friendships last a lifetime. They're honest and true.
No matter what the discord they always renew.

True friendships last a lifetime. They're sincere and frank.
No matter what the hurdle they always outflank.

True friendships last a lifetime. They're robust and strong.
No matter what the distance they always belong.

True friendships last a lifetime. They're helpful and kind.
No matter what the trouble they always enwind.

True friendships last a lifetime. They're enough and more.
No matter what the vacuum they always restore.
