If I invite you in and offer friendship.

As your path through life has you passing by.

If I open my arms to embrace you.

And express a love you cannot deny.

If I offer you a strong and broad shoulder.

On which you can lay your weary head,

And let out a long, relieving, cry.

If I comfort your heart and soul.

And with your needs, and desires, I do comply.

If I offer you advice, and opinions.

And convince you, that on me, you can rely.

If I can do these things for you.

Can you do these things for me?

If you can, I promise you a friendship,

And a love for you.

That will never, ever, die.
