White Sage Poet Free verse

A True Friend I Am

If really true friends stay by you when time is bad
Then I shall stay for you at the end of love
To catch you as you fall so hard
So to prevent a friend from getting so hurt

If really true friends stay by you when time is tough
Then I shall stand by you when you woo love
So I can untie and lubricate your tongue when they get tied and rough
And give braces to your shaking knees to avoid an embarrassing fall

If only true friends stay by you during hard times
Then I shall stay by you the most on your marriage
Not to consume the Curry and thyme 
But to feed them to your courage

If true friends mean helping
Then in that room whenever your bed goes creaking
I will call the police and brigades
Because with that noise and groans, I know something's at stake
