That Extra Mile

My best friend is like my right arm: city born with a country charm. And trying to steer me from harm: if I stray, he sounds the alarm. I've grown accustomed to his face: it'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; brightening my day when it's dim. He treats me with finesse and style; always going that extra mile. And never fails to make me smile; friends for life, till we're both senile. Knowing he'll always take my part has bought him a spot in my heart. And we will never drift apart, having been best friends from the start.
