As a friend, I'll be your stronghold, like the roots of a tree, supporting you always.
As a friend, I'll be your shoulder to cry on, like the earth when it rains, soaking up the feelings, never complaining.
As a friend, I'll be your guide, like a lighthouse, shining through the darkness if you ever get lost.
As a friend, I'll stop and listen to you, like the earth stops to listen to nature and its wonders, taking in every little detail, because it's all important.
As a friend, I'll bring out the best in you, like the sharp amazement of lightning brings out the powerful beauty and strength of a storm.
As a friend, I'll never get tired of you, like the rainforest never tires of water, because it needs it and wouldn't be complete without it.
As a friend, I'll stand by your side to protect and defend you as long as you live, like a shield protects a warrior in battle.
As a friend, I'll keep you in my heart always, as the stars will always and forever glitter in the night sky.
And as a friend, I'll be there for you, as only a friend can.
