It is your pain in my heart
How do you show it? - What is a true friend?
Someone who’s there for others
In their time of need - Turbulent waters
Difficult times stress and strain
Who will stop the rain? - To make a true friend
Be the friend you’d like to have
Be kind and listen - Happy, average, sad
Emotions run high daily
Leaves you feeling drained - Pediatricians
Care for our children and teens
Until age 18 - Unbelievable
Life situations can be
Exhilarating - Discrimination
Is detrimental to ALL
Affected by it - Individuals
Stand out as one of a kind
A community - Intimidating
A scary situation
Feeling all alone - Representative
Someone who speaks for others
Giving them a voice - Sophisticated
Elegant, refined, fancy
Not regular folks - Irresistible
Desire that won’t fade away
With each passing day - Appreciated
Recognized for what we do
Rare in today’s world
