A TRUE FRIEND

A true friend is like
a twinkling star,
Always shining over the sky afar.

Though it's far away,
It's always on my way,
It never disappear in dismay,
But keeps on shining without delay.

How am I going to repay,
For all the shines display,
Turning dark night into a day.
I'm lost for a word to say,
Subdued in a low mood sway.

But a friend who stood
all the ways,
Seeking nothing for a pay,
Doing good deeds as his way.
