"In the ebb of life, true friends appear,
Reliable anchors, dispelling fear.
Through storms and sunshine, they endure,
A bond unbreakable, steadfast and pure.

They listen without judgment's sting,
Share laughter, wiping tears that spring.
In shadows deep or joyous light,
True friends stand, a comforting sight.

No hidden motives, no deceit,
Just genuine warmth whenever we meet.
They lift you up when spirits fall,
True friends, a treasure worth it all.
