As you go through life you'll have your ups and downs;
You'll know who your true friends are by who remains around;
There are some who are with you when the sun is shining bright;
But at the first sign of dark clouds they disappear from sight;
It's when the times are roughest and the path is far from clear;
That those who stay beside you are those you hold most dear;
To those who have been with you through the thick and thin;
Take a moment to thank God you have them as your dear and loyal friend.
