True Friend

A person who enhances your life, Knowing your accord and your strife. Respecting both for the individual they compose, Always watchful for threats of foes. The sibling not born of your clan, But knows you like the back of a hand. Someone who knows your thoughts before they happen, A relationship most can’t even imagine. No sea or continent can keep you apart, Refuse the distance and look straight to the heart. Here you will find the person you seek, The voice inside will remind you things aren’t so bleak. Through joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, The true friend is one who will always remain.
