A Friend

By: Kim H. M.

     Friends may not be for life, 
They may just be there for a year or two,
For life or not,
It's still the same reason, 
Their there for you.

     Each plays a special role in your life,
Happiness or heartbreak,
Some you might not trust.
All teach you something new.

     Value your friendship,
Be there for them.
Show them your there, 
And that you care.
Never let them fall through.

     Friends might not be there forever,
But their here now.
Make every moment last, 
And they'll be there for you.





I've had a lot of friends in my life, 
each one different, but each one important.
Few of them could I call my best friend(s). 
Some were just really good friends. And I've even 
had some who would use me, backstab me, 
and we're just my friend for a joke. But I've learned
that it is always important to be the best friend you can,
to every one. Even the mean ones, we don't always know,
what their going though, and sometimes, they might not
realize it, but they do need a friend, a true friend.
