My Friend

A Friend is someone who cares,
Is there to make you smile;
 Not cry.
Listens to your problems with a quiet ear,
A shoulder to lean or cry on
 For when you’re down.

Strong hands to help you find the way,
The light at the end of a tunnel;
 That at first may seem dark.

To me you are these things and many more,
You are all these and many more;
You are someone I hold very dear.

Thank you for being my friend,
I hope our friendship never ends
My dear friend.
