The Friend I Find

When things seem a little tough,
and my world becomes a little rough
There's one person I can turn to
and in that I have total gratitude.

This person is my friend
I feel will be with me until the end.

This person does not judge me,
for sometimes they are just like me.

When I  sometimes feel a little weird,
and other people look and sneer
they just laugh and play the game
for somehow we are quite the same.

This person knows when I am sad,
even knows when I am mad. 
They reallly know me deep down inside,
and to them I can not lie. 

They know how to heal my wounds, 
and stand by while I swoon.

This person does not betray,
and I know the friendship will stay.

They judge not
when I am wrong.
They bring me back 
when I'm far gone.

I love my friend
with all my heart.
Funny how I trusted them 
from the very start.

You know this person.
Yes, this is true.
For the person I speak of,
is none other than you!
