The Power of Family and Friends

This dreamer keeps his ramparts high
And people often question why?

It's a simple answer I've come to see
People lack respect and honesty

For when you earn the title friend
You earn my love until the end

But friendship's hard and most aren't lenient
Your feelings are worthless unless it's convienient

I'd like to think that people care
And I long to hope that life is fair

Time may prove these thoughts askew
My faith in people rests with you

But each passing day we grow apart
It mangles my soul and twists my heart

Hopefully time will prove my thoughts mendacious
Until that time let your love be contagious

Above all else, cherish family and friend
For they'll be with you until the very end
