What Are Friends Are For?

Have you heard a song entitles"What Are Friends Are For?" Yes you are, right?! This is a 1982 song written by Burt Bacharach and Carole Bayer Sager and introduced by Rod Stewart for the soundtrack of the film "Night Shift".

This song is a collaboration of Gladys Knights, Elton John and Stevie Wonder for a charity single and raised over US$3 million for American Foundation for AIDS Research. It was chosen as number one for three weeks on the soul chart and four weeks on the Billboard hot 100.

Here's the most love part of the lyrics:

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

I love this song very much because I know theirs always someone you can count on. Though we have family of our own, there's always something that only our friends knows that secret. For example, the teenagers, they tell their first crush on their friends, enjoy the company, hang-outs, etc.

That is not only the role of a friend. You can also share your problems with them, get you company if you're sad or alone, cheer you up, and most specially they are frank.

So you must value your friendship. This can give you strength and makes you a whole being.
