A friend is like a forest, Or a lovely, calm blue sea, A refuge from life’s problems, As only a friend can be. A friend is like a song, Soothing to the brain, Distracting us from trouble, Neutralizing pain. A friend is like some ice cream On a sweltering summer day, Making life delicious, In a friend’s own special way. A friend is like a blanket, Bringing peace and rest, A cocoon of warmth and pleasure; When we are tired or stressed. A friend is a bit of everything That makes life good and sweet, And you, my friend, are all that; You make my life complete!
