Sara Kendrick Poet Couplet

A Friend

If      you're lonely, sad, or distressed
You            feel so deeply pressed

Need         just the one that will listen
A               constant love given

Friend        I'll be there to lend an ear
I'm             willing to appear

Sailing        in your shadow my friend
Right          in your heights ascend

Behind       you all the way 'til the end
Like           a sturdy defense
   
A               provider, a confidante
Bridge       not iconoclast  

Over         tea or just share a plea
Troubled  mind will appease

Water     over the dam is past hurts
I              in you immerse

Will         be your friend forever
Ease       your mind together

Your        life has value my true friend
Mind        you I'll defend, my friend
