I'd Rather

I'd rather a friend who spoke their mind
Than one who simply agrees
A friend should be a treasured find
And not come by with much ease

I'd rather someone honest and true
Than someone with many faces
I want a pal who'll be blue when I'm blue,
And together we'd go many places

I'd rather have one cherished friend
Than acquaintances many
Someone who's not a passing trend,
Not a dozen for a penny

I'd rather a friend who will be there for me
Someone caring, trusting, and fun
And if you can't find many with these qualities you see,
Than of friends, I'd rather have one.
