A friend! - page 16-17

The Rotary Balita no. 617 (March 24, 1948)

Give me a friend, and I'll worry along. My vision may vanish, my dreams may go wrong. My wealth I may lose, or my money may spend, But I'll worry along, you give me a friend. Give me a friend and I'll live in a cot, And, maybe, have more than a man with a lot. Whatever, O, Heaven! you may happen to send I ask, most of all, that you give me a friend. Give me a friend, and my youth may depart, But still I'll be young in the house of my heart, Yes. I will go laughing, right to the end, Whatever the years, if you give me a friend. Anonymous
