​With A Friend
 
I can talk with a friend
     and walk with a friend
and share my umbrella
     in the rain.
 
I can play with a friend
     and stay with a friend
and learn with a friend
     and explain.
 
I can eat with a friend
     and compete with a friend
and even sometimes
     disagree.
 
I can ride with a friend
     and take pride with a friend.
A friend can mean
     so much to me!
