What is a Friend?

by Kacie Austin

A friend is someone we trust and we care

Our deepest secrets with a friend we share

To spend time with each other, to laugh and to joke

To tickle and play fight and giggle and poke

At times when it’s lonely and covered with fear

A great loyal friend will always be near

Birthdays, baking and partying, friends do lots of things

They share all their clothes or whatever they bring

When shopping with friends it’s great to get their advice

And if you struggle with money, ask them to add up the price

Sometimes when they’re sad and feel quite alone

They’ll ring a friend and pray she picks up the phone

Friends often compete in all the school races

They try extremely hard to get the best places

Fantastic friends are loving and kind

They are never too far from the back of one’s mind

Friendships in life are what make it worth living

It's the icing on the cake when you learn to start giving.
