A Friend

Someone I can depend on, 
that is there.
Someone I can talk to, 
that cares.
Someone I can go to,
that will ask.
Someone I can joke with, 
that laughs.
Someone I can follow,
that will lead.
Someone I can stick with,
that will never leave.
Someone I can listen to,
that is smiling.
Someone I can help, 
that is crying.
Someone I can stand up for,
that is hurt.
Someone I can save,
that is burnt.
Someone I can trust,
that is understanding.
Someone I can lean on,
that is still standing.
Someone I can spend time with,
that loves me.
Someone I can fight with,
that hugs me.
Someone I can remember, 
that is dead.
Someone I can thank,
that is way above my head.
