i'll ask you one question -- what are friends for?
i'll tell you the answer to that one
friends are for caring and helping 
friends are able to accept when you have done wrong 
friends are forgiving 
all this adds up and makes you perfect 
the many jams you have helped me out of 
like the time when i was broke and i 
smashed the glass bowl in the shop 
did you call me clumsy? 
no. 
you just paid for the bowl 
then refused to let me pay you back 
and the time when I broke my arm 
by trying to fly off the trampoline 
did you laugh? 
no. 
you talked to me all the way 
to the hospital 
and held my hand 
all this talk of how wonderful you are 
is making it hard for me to tell you the bad news 
my family is moving to california and 
naturally i have to go with them 
i don't know how i will last without you there 
to help me out of my messes 
but i know that nobody will ever take up 
the large portion of my heart that you own 
you will forever be my friend 
and i hope i will be yours too.
