What Is a Friend?

By: Starshine (View Profile)

A friend is someone who is there, when the world lets you down.
They are people who set aside their needs to let you know they are around.
They seem to know when you have sadness in your heart.
And they will stand by with you right from the start. 

Don’t worry they say, we’ll always be there for you.
And they put their own lives on hold, to see what they can do.
They will do all this without slight of thought.
And the love and kindness, they show in their heart.

For the people who were there for me when I needed it. (Thank you Margaret Macgillivray, starshine)
Should you be someone who needs a helping hand.
Just reach out your hand, and grab on to your friend.
A true friend doesn't expect anything in return.
They just want to help, and pass the friendship around.

Best friends are there for you any time you see.
And I hope you remember this, and show someone else what you did for me.
Good friendships are rare, and are very hard to find.
Because when you have a best friend, they are one of a kind.
