True friends are really hard to find, much harder than mahogany,
And the quality they bring is rarer too,
Don’t get me wrong, I love the wood, its richness, beauty, elegance;
But a solid friend, may be the best that we can do;
I am one for you, are you one for me, are you stable, true, and balanced;
Can you set your pride aside, to love and give,
Is your ego gone, can you admit you’re wrong, do you accept and face your challenges,
A solid friend, will help us heal and grow and live;
Will you be there for me, the way I’m there for you, no matter what the tides deliver,
And can I count on you, to be my anchor in the storm,
Is your perspective clear, do you like strong, dark beer, and can you handle disappointment,
A solid friend, will help our sense of oneness form;
Can you live with zest, abiding all the rest, with joy, alacrity, and promise;
Have you learned the art of giving, selflessly,
There is one I know, above the ebb and flow, who masters dignity, grace, and soundness;
A solid friend, her name is Gina, she’s there for me,
A solid friend, her name is Gina, she’s there for me.
