What is a friend

       exactly

A friend is faithful

       more so than the sun

A friend is a smile

       that is always on call

A friend is a hope

       that never expires

A friend is a love

       that never dies

A friend is a gift of God

       to the one they’ve befriended

That’s what a friend is

       in no uncertain terms

One more thing as well

A friend is love

       personified
