You ask, what is a friend?

It is a person true to their word,

A loving wife with kisses to send

Along with words of love to be heard,

A brother, in whom one can always confide,

A coworker to help work daily tasks,

Always to be at one's side,

Not being paid for favors asked.

A friend includes your father, your mother,

Your sister, and even your daughter or your son,

For under God, we are sisters and brothers

Created by God as a race of one.

Underneath, we are of the same color of blood,

With hearts all shaped the same,

Standing before God to be judged

Of being sent to Heaven, or to the devil's flame.
