A Friend Like You

A friend like you is not just an ordinary friend. A friend like you is a friend to cherish. A friend like you is a precious gift from God. A friend like you is amazing, indeed wonderful. You are a true friend, you are worth integrity. Through over-turning seas we clung to each other. Through raging storms we stumbled and staggered together. You helped me against dreadful tempests, you helped me turn my mountainous impediments into plains. O' a true friend indeed! A friend like you is unbelievable. You were always there when I was engulfed in a deep sea of melancholy. We shared laughters, we shared cries and we shared thoughts. Yes we fought, we had randoms of disparate thoughts, days and even weeks passed without a word merely a cat's look. Oh! what else could friends do? The walls of our friendship will never collapse. The walls of our friendship are tightened by integrity, happiness, discipline and affection. Humongous mountains, long rivers, yes even wide oceans may separate us, but it is indeed an everlasting friendship. Nothing can part it, even Satan himself. Our powerful walls will only be shattered by Death. Oh no! it is His insatiable plea to perturb the spirit. A friend like you is a friend to trust. A friend like you is a friend to protect. Flames raged betwixt us but we've become like brothers over time. We've become friends of soul and flesh, like bones and flesh. A friend like you is worth gratitude. You've been my second should when I was weak. I will cast away the bittersweet memories, but never will I banish those of good times. Is this a definition of a friendship? Banish such thoughts for this is a special thank to a friend like you. To you special friend.
