Friend

What to me is a friend?
Someone who doesn't pretend
They're true to my face
My faults they embrace
They'll stay with me to the end

They share my joy and pain
Through sunshine and rain
They cry when I'm sad
And laugh when I'm glad
Don't care if I'm timid or vain

So where do I find one of these?
Don't grow on bushes like peas
Right here in you
My friend ever true
We surf life's stormy seas

Wow. I shouldn't get emotional over this but :'-) .. I guess friendship is the kind of love that is precious in a deeper and more meaningful way that many other types of love. Particularly the rare kind you describe.. I love "We surf life's stormy seas" conjures up an element of dis-regard of danger, togetherness and shared experience only storms can bring. Really nice job. +Fav
