What a True Friend Is

What a true friend is Someone to laugh with, perhaps to shed some tears A person who's been with you all through the years. Someone to shelter you from days that cold A shoulder to lean on, a warm hand to hold. Someone who will not talk bad about you, and never lie. Who are always there for you if you need to cry. Someone who will be there for you Through thick and through thin. When the rest of the world walks out on you, A friend will walk in. An arm to catch you if you slip or fall And an ear for your problems whenever you call. Someone to share your giggles and your screams A person to tell your secrets and dreams. Someone to hug you when your happy or sad To just be there in good times or bad. A person with whom you don't have to pretend These are the jobs of a true best friend.
