A Friend

A friend is one who you can trust To be always kind and always just. When you are lonely or afraid, A friend will be your colonnade. When truth is lost in masquerade, A friend's strong hand will be your aid. When times are hard and hit like a gust, A friend is one who you can trust. When life feels like an ambuscade, A friend's fierce love will always pervade. When all around seems like a lonely esplanade, A friend's loyal camaraderie shall be displayed. A friend is one who you can trust, To be always faithful, never unjust, To love unconditionally and never degrade, A friend is the one who will be your stockade.

Wonderful points about being a friend. Ahhh . . . but there is, of course, that scoundrel, the fair weather friend. There are more of them, I fear, than true friends. But it is the true friend who you can trust to be at your side in your darkest moments. I wish for everyone a true friend.
