A True Friend

A good friend would
come get your bail
but a true friend should
be with you in the jail

a true friend is like a pest
till you take the right step
he won't let you rest
and he'll always offer help

a true friend is like a rare gift
that comes at the right time
he gives you the best lift
he helps you get to your prime

the best kisses to a true friend
with peace and joy that would never end
the space they fill no one would ever mend
and their help,they'll always lend
