Are they so rare?

True friends are rare,
yet not so rare.
For in life, we may find
some, who's really kind.
They brighten your way
like a golden ray.
To them, so much to say;
confide in them, we ,may.
They drive away all cares;
smile, they always wears.
They help and advice;
they love and care.
At your side they remain;
in your heart, they retain.
Through the gloomy days;
through the sunny days
to support, they always stay
and help us through life's way.
Friends, true at heart and
true at mind- are they so rare?
