A friend is someone you need; They are always there; A friend is someone you believe; Remembering them in your prayers. 
A friend will always listen; Andjudgement they won't pass; A friend will always hold their opinion; And wait until you ask. A friend will say, "You'll be fine." And convience you ofthe same; 
A friend will say, "Go for it. " When the door opens to fame 
A friend will always speak the truth, Even ifit's not what you wish to hea 
A friend is someone like you; A true friend through out the year's. 
A true friend and sister --I love you -- Brenda Cobb
