Friends By My Side

I smile looking at them play

Their smiles make my day

It felt like heaven by their side

As I giggle with their laughs

They tease with such mock

Call me with silly names

And play with no luck

But I love them still the same

Through thick and thin

They're always by my side

We've been in storms and fire

But still we're solid like rock

In years of friendship

Through laughter and pain

Love has always been there

To guide us in our games

Don't have to say it loud

Cause it comes without words

Knowing how blessed I am

To have friends by my side
