What is a friend
There to help in a time of need
To listen when you talk
Hears what you are not saying
Talks when you need to hear
Someone you turn to when things are bleak
A kindred soul in who you place trust
A shoulder to cry and lean on
An amazing person you are glad to know
Fun to be with and hang around
Allies together against all odds
Keeping each other standing tall and proud
Never asking for thanks or expecting it
No need even to talk
Together in thought and deed
Truly there for one another
At anytime or anyplace
Look in the mirror
Deep in your face
And ask yourself this
Are you really a friend
