**Laughter and tears,**

**You tell them your fears.**

**They see you grow,**

**They watch you fall—**

**But stand by your side**

**Through it all.**

**It’s not always easy—**

**The tantrums, the glares—**

**But friends never flinch**

**At truths or dares.**

**They hold all your secrets,**

**They laugh at your flaws,**

**They cheer when you win,**

**And fight for your cause.**

**Through seasons of change,**

**Their hearts beat near—**

**A voice in your darkness,**

**A hand for your fear.**

**When the world feels heavy,**

**They lighten the load—**

**A shelter in storms,**

**A home on the road.**

**Some friendships will fade,**

**Some promises break,**

**But the ones who remain**

**Are the hearts that don’t shake.**

**And when life is a mess**

**And dreams fall apart,**

**A true friend’s still there**

**With a wide-open heart.**

**For friends are forever—**

**A bond, a refrain,**

**A love stitched in laughter,**

**A balm for the pain.**

**So treasure each moment,**

**Each smile, every glance,**

**For friendship, like love,**

**Is life’s greatest chance.**
