Why Otherwise

None of us truly independent why otherwise pretend A truly lost person is the one without a friend The one of a friend who does not feel in need On life's tougher moments is a sad one indeed When life's lady luck she is not on your side You need one to trust on whom you can confide Someone who for you compassion will show From the bond of trust friendship always does grow When you are in trouble you know who your friends are seems true to say At such a time your friend from you will not shy away We all do need a friend in our life or two And this also applies to me and to you With none to help to lift their spirits when they are feeling down The friendless they are the sad sacks of the town.
