When twilight falls and shadows softly creep,
A friend appears to chase the dark away.
In times of joy or sorrow’s silent weep,
Their presence turns the night into the day.

With laughter shared and tears that freely flow,
The bond of friendship grows with every year.
Through life’s vast sea, with currents fast or slow,
They steer us clear of doubt and deepest fear.

No treasure rich or gem of purest hue,
Can match the worth of friendship’s golden light.
It comforts us when skies are dark and blue,
And lifts our spirits to a soaring height.

So here’s to friends, both near and far away,
Whose love endures through each and every day.
