‘Dear, old friend of mine,

We stood the test, the test of time,

We shared childhood dreams,

And so much more,

I could never ask a friend for more…

‘Dear, old friend of mine,

You were always there,

Come rain, come shine,

In tough times, on you I could count,

Never allowing my problems to mount…

Sharing the most intimate thought,

A better friend could never be sought,

On, no other person could I ever depend,

There’s no one like, my “dear, old friend”.
