One who, seeing you each day.
When at work or at your play,
Always seems to comprehend;
Stick to him, he is your friend.
If he knows your every mood,
Happy, scrappy. when you brood,
Yet stands ready to defend;
Then, at last, you've found THE
friend.
Wealth or power will not suffice
He is richest in tho end
who has found faithful friend.
