A True Companion by Mosuro Hafsah Oluwatobi

Oh friend, you're one of a kind,

Through thick and thin, we've been aligned,

Our friendship's stood the test of time,

And it's as strong as any vine.

I know you're always there for me,

With love and care, you set me free,

You make me laugh and help me see,

The joy and light of life, you bring to me.

We've shared our tears and shared our fears,

And through it all, our friendship's clear,

That nothing can compare, I hold it dear.                           

Oh friend, I'll sing your praises high,

For you're a gem, I can't deny,

Your kindness shines, like the summer sky,

You're always there, so very nigh.

You lift me up, you bring me cheer,

With your sweet smile, so sincere,

Your laughter's like a song I hear,

My heart is full, without a fear.

I count the ways you've helped me grow,

You've made me strong, so it's plain to show,

Our friendship's like a garden's flow.                        

Oh friend, I could write a thousand lines,

And still not say all that's on my mind,

There's so much more, I must confide,

My love for you, so deep and wide.

I'll speak of times, when you were near,

And helped me through my darkest fear,

Your love and care, held me so dear,

I know our friendship's meant to last for years.

Our friendship's like a rare, fine wine,

It grows more sweet, with every line,

We'll raise a toast, just you and I.                                      

Oh friend, there's more to say, I know,

Of all the ways your love can show,

You're like a star, your light aglow,

Shining bright, so others know.

You've helped me see, a better way,

To live and love, in every day,

You're like a map, that lights the way,

I'm grateful for all you say.

Your friendship's like a precious gem,

More precious than a diadem,

It's priceless, more than I can tell,

Our friendship's story, never ends.                                       

Your friendship's like a strong foundation,

Built on trust, and true relation,

No matter what, no hesitation,

Our friendship's strong, no hesitation.

Through any storm, through any gale,

Your friendship's like a sturdy sail,

It keeps me safe, it never fails,

I know you'll be there, without fail.

You're like a friend, I can confide in,

You'll listen well, and never chide in,

No matter what, you'll be beside me,

A friend like you, I'll always need.
