Edgar Albert Guest - A Friend [2]

A friend is one who takes your hand
And talks a speech you understand
he's partly kindness, partly mirth
And Faith unfaltering in your worths
he's first to cheer you on success,
And last to leave you in distress
A friend is constant, honest, true
In short, old pal, he's just like you.
