A FRIEND IS FOR LIFE

By Josie Whitehead

Friend is For Life (A)

When your lifetime lies ahead
     And you have lots to do,
Remember that your world includes
     Some others - not just you.

Each day your life is filled with folk 
     Who share this world with you,
And how they think and what they do
     Affects both me and you.

Remember it’s how each of us
    Treat others that we meet,
So show a kindly face to those
     At school and in the street - 

And don't forget the ones at home -
    They've lots of love for you;
Your brothers, sisters, Mum and Dad
     And Grans and Granddads too.

Remember that we hope that they
    Show us affection too,

And love and friendship goes through life;
     It should do, that is true.
