Friend

Be my friend Walk with me when I am walking Sit with me when I am sitting Hug me when I need a hug Talk with me when I need someone to talk to Ignore me when I am angry Hold me when I am crying Be there through my sorrows Help me carry the load when I am struggling Be there when I need someone Help me to move on with my life Be the one person who never judges me Show me how to be a better person Most of all love me for who I am With all my faults Also the good parts as well Just be the person you are My beloved My Friend Written by my mom on New Years day 2014 This is the first poem of hers that I have ever read. Mama Rocks! I hope she writes more.
