"What Is A Friend?"

What is a friend?
One who is there for me,
In sickness or in health,
When saddened or filled with glee,

What is a friend?
A person with whom I can share,
My deepest thoughts and feelings,
Be they of joy or despair,

What is a friend,
But a wonderful gift from God?
Whom He hath given to me,
As along life's path I trod.
