Friend

The greatest gift I can receive is that of friendship It is also the greatest gift that I have to offer It Transforms the the giver and receiver You have no idea who will be your friend Some small or large gesture that clicks Rearranges the idea of you Helps you to see yourself as better More interesting Funny No longer alone Someone to help you face life head on A place of shelter during life's storms I am transformed when I give my friendship to you When I am a true friend I am the best vesion of me Still you my friend do not demand perfection I in turn do not expect it from you Yes I will disappoint you You will disappoint me As a friend I choose to forgive I know I am loved when you forgive me We have our shared jokes somehow you get me I get you I see you The you you were The you you are The you you are becoming Today I may lean on you It may be your turn tomorrow This is not a casual thing It is a commitment without rings I will tell you when you are wrong We are like notes to the same song One of many reason we get along We all need a safe place we belong I will protect and nurture this gift You don't knock me down you give me a lift With you my perspective can shift For there is none other like you Time is what proves friends are true We have walked down many trails I trust you fully I know you won't fail Together we have played the fools Broken our own share of rules We have cried sad tears Celebrated occasions and years Helped each other conquer fears When you laugh at me it doesn't hurt I know you'd give me your shirt So who is your friend Not the ones who pretend They will all leave in the end Your friend will be still here Year after year
