Friend

The most you have done for me was to simply be my friend,
Someone whom I can trust and on whom I can depend.
Friends like you are hard to come by but not hard to choose,
A real good friendship can never die because good friends you'll never lose.
You're a loyal friend who listens and tries to understand,
A friend who's always willing to lend a helping hand.
Someone who shares their time for a talk and a smile,
And never minds a good laugh for a while.
Telling your deep dark secrets not worrying about them saying a word,
Wiping away your tears when you've been hurt.
Your right hand who is always dependable,
With a heart that is so loveable.
A friend you do find their understanding shouldn't lack,
Make sure they treat you kind and will always have your back.
Their compassion would never end because they are real and true,
That's what it takes to be a good friend if this world had more nicer people like you.
