Lean On Me
lay your head on my shoulder
feel free to cry, but know I care
if you shake, I will steady you
if you fall, I’ll lift you
dependability and loyalty
my most valued qualities
never ignoring a friend in need
always offering reassurance
the nicest thing ever said to me:
“What you see is what you get”
no pretense, no delusions of grandeur
just a friend who has your back
wealth and fame I do not seek
but crushed I’d be
devastated if I weren’t there
when a friend required help
