A True Friend

You carefully helped me
And guided me well
You stood by me
When I was going through hell

You lead me down
The easiest paths when I was blind
And let me find my own way
While staying close behind

You helped me over
The fiery roads
Following me faithfully
Wherever they go

You didn’t judge me
You treated me the same
You reached out to help me
When I called your name

Your friendship means
So much to me
Keeping it strong
That’s the key

I want to thank you
For all you’ve done
You’ve helped me out
With everything under the sun

For that I am grateful
I owe it to you
That even today
I’m still alive and struggling through

You shed some light
On my dark roads ahead
Pushing me along
When I wished that I were dead

I in turn
Hope that I can do the same
I will be here
When you call out my name

If you are in darkness
I’ll give you light
If your wings are broken
I’ll give you flight

Whatever you need
I’ll be there for you
Just like you were there for me
To help guide me through
