I'd like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me,

as you have meant old friend of mine, to me along the way.

A friend is someone who truly cares,
A friend is someone who's always there,
A friend will be there in times of woe,
Talking, laughing, and sometime letting go,
Times alone we sometimes need,
But coming back we will do indeed,
There may be times we may not agree,
For you are you and I am me,
We may argue because of that fact,
But our power of friendship will bring us back,
Cause the love in our hearts we feel inside,
Is not something we would ever hide,
So come to me in times of need,
Cause you my dear always have a friend in me.

I hold in my hands
a box of gold,
With a secret inside
that has never been told.

The box is priceless
but as I see,
The treasure inside
is far more precious to me.

Today I share
this treasure with thee,
It's the treasure of friendship
You've given to me!
