I wish I was a porcupine
Or even a gnu
The only problem being
I'd never get close to you

I wish I was a butterfly
Or even a turtledove
The only problem being
You'd never return my love

I wish I was a tortoise
Or even a tiny bunny
The only problem being
You'd find me very funny

I wish I was a magician
Or even a pretty queen
The only problem being
I'd be the fattest ever seen

I wish I was there with you
To help you through each day
The only problem being
I doubt you'd let me stay

So I'll stay the person
That I am living far away
Waiting for that moment
That you can spare each day

FRIENDS ARE

A hand in the dark when we are afraid
A voice full of love when there's trouble and strife
A powerful reminder that good comes from bad
And a carer and sharer of the good things in life

An advocate waiting to help us and guide us
A person we trust with our secrets and shames
A blessing to know they love us no matter what
And a partner who comes to share in life's games

A valuable person we will never forget
A good man or woman who never long stays away
A person to rely on for wisdom and fun
And an encourager with something worthwhile to say

A giver of the gifts that were given to them
A person who tells us when we have been wrong
A watcher who knows when life is too tough
And a comforting presence too as we grow strong
