Friends shape you, mold you, and influence you.

Friends love you and comfort you,
Laugh with you and cry with you,
Play with you and work with you.

Friends will be with you in sickness, and in health,
In joy and in sorrow,
In poverty and in riches.

Friends are good listeners, and always have a shoulder for you to lean on.

Friends encourage you to do what is right,
and will not participate in what is wrong.

Friends were sent to earth, from God.
