Amigo
Un amigo es alguien
En quién puedes confiar
Un amigo esta a tu lado
Cuando realmente necesitas apoyo
Y acude a ti cuando necesitas ayuda.
Un amigo te escucha y no te intenta cambiar.
Un amigo es alguien con quién
Puedes compartir tus sueños, esperanzas y sentimientos.
Un amigo es uno de los dones
Más bellos de la vida.
A friend is someone
In whom you can confide
A friend is at your side
When you truly need support
And comes to you when you need help.
A friend hears you and has no desire to change you.
A friend is someone with whom
You can share your dreams, hopes, and feelings.
A friend is one of the most beautiful
Gifts in this life.
