With honest simplicity, David Ritter captures the essence of loyal companionship, highlighting its importance in navigating life’s challenges and joys. The poem is a heartfelt celebration of those special bonds that stand the test of time.

True Friends

Friends will come and friends will go,
Like the passing years.
But true friends stand the test of time,
Through smiles and through tears.

In both good times and the bad,
A true friend is always there,
To share a laugh or wipe a frown,
And show how much they care.

In a world where life is tough,
And people grow unkind,
I have learned without a doubt,
True friendship’s hard to find.

This is why when late at night,
Before my prayer ends,
I thank God with all my heart,
For my truest friends.

— David Ritter
