That Extra Mile

My best friend is like my right arm: city born, with a country charm. And striving to steer me from harm: Should I stray, he sounds the alarm. I've grown accustomed to his face: He's impossible to replace. For we joke, and at times embrace: He's someone I trust in my space. I feel lucky to have met him, for he fills my glass to the brim. And often drops by on a whim; to brighten my day when it's dim. He embodies finesse and style. always going that extra mile. And never fails to make me smile; friends for life, not just for a while. Knowing he'll always take my part has bought him a spot in my heart. And we will never drift apart, for we've been best friends from the start.
