A Friend

I wasn’t always sure about you I had my doubts and fears I wasn’t always certain That you would really be there When I needed a friend More than anything else I’ve learned, though That you are someone special Someone rare and essential To my heart’s quest for love Love that survives and thrives Overcomes the worst of times Continues to grow and prosper Long after struggles and worries You are someone I can trust Someone who understands my thoughts Someone who cares and shares Someone who knows me Like no one else can You are someone I can believe in Someone rare and aware of my heart Someone who accepts me as I am Without conditions or limits You love without bounds You are the person I turn to When I need a real friend Someone who I can be myself with Without fear or anxiety Without hiding my heart away Without even a hint of doubt I love you and am so thankful To have a friend who I believe in Thank you, once again For being that friend
