My best friends are my greatest gifts

My friends mean a lot to me.

You won’t convince me they ain’t a gift.

In my heart they are my saviors gift

I’m thankful they did a lot for me.

When I was mean they were a graceful gift.

They gave my life the greatest shift

Nothing was ever stopping me.

They gave my spirit the greatest lift.

With my friends you’d never hate a gift.

They’re the ones you love properly.

I’m incomplete without these major gifts.

Having my friends is having tailored gifts.

A great example of how life oughta be.

I love em’, They’d never be shameful gifts.

Even though I was a painful gift

They laugh out loud a lot with me

Healing my mind they make the pain lift

Don’t ever tell me my best friends ain’t gifts.
