Friendship True

You may talk about your money
And the things that it will do.
But one thing it can never buy.
And that's a Friend that's true.
\ friend that's glad TO lend hand
Thru I.ife's most losing game.
Who knows most all about you, and
Who loves you just the same.
Regardless of how poor you are.
You have precious gift,
If you can count upon yonr friends
To give helping lift.
For Friendship isn't merchandise,
That can be bought or sald.
Its one of those most wOndrOus things
That's worth far more than gold.
