A True Friend

Is one who understands where you have been, Accepts who you have become and Loves you unconditionally as you are. They does not wish you "luck" As you step out into the unknown... They walks into the void by your side. They will not offer distractions Nor easy advice in your time of need... Instead she will pray for wisdom, Born of compassion and a willingness To take your pain upon herself. Such a friend will always speak of you When you are not present, as though you were, And though they may not always share your Sunny days, they will always be there to help You through the stormy ones. They is not skeptical of your blooming Nor jealous of your shining apart from her, For they seeks not to steal your joy, But to multiply it. It has been well said that there is no Greater love than this... For a true friend does not take life from You, they gives you thier own.
