Some people will be your friend

because of whom you know

Some people will be your friend

because of your position

Some people will be your friend

because of the way you look

Some people will be your friend

because of your possessions

But the only real friends

are the people who will be your friends

because they like you for how you are inside

Thank you for being

one of the very few people in my life

who is a real friend
