Keith Beavon Poet Free verse

A Credo

Not all acquaintances 
will become True Friends 
but for them who do 
male and female alike 
i will bequeath
all those things 
those honorable things 
that lie embedded in
the special phrase
You are a True Friend of mine
as such i will
be there when you
are sick and lonely
i will be near 
when you might
need an ear or
when you are
in despair 
albeit in the
middle of the night  
i will be there
in good times 
and in bad 
i can promise
you my loyalty 
and assured support
material or moral 
to you my true friend 
i will never lie 
nor cheat
let alone deceive 
i will admit my errors 
i will not use you
to polish my ego
and then 
without a word 
  .  .  .  .  .  turn
my back on you 
abandon you
or spit you out
like a bad taste 
and then
in silence stride
away as if 
you never existed 
as this friendship
is forever
