True Friendship

To know that there's that "someone,"
is all that it would take,
to bolster up your spirits,
and a loyal, friendship make!

A smile, a little laughter,
on which, you can depend,
could make a world of difference,
when you feel you need a friend.

Someone you rely upon,
in times of stress and strife.
A blessing in disguise,
on the road, we know as life

It's great to have a trusty friend,
with whom your heart can share, 
your hopes and fondest dreams,
because you really care!

To know, you only need to call,
should there ever be a slip,
like a lighthouse in the fog,
that guides your little ship!

Friends like these are great blessings, Ralph. So many have extended true friendship to me and folks like Dane Ann have given more comfort than I can ever hope to return. It's important we let them know how much they mean to us. Your wonderful poem has me thinking about all of the people who have shown kindness. Beautiful write! Love, Carolyn

Ralph, nicely written with great rhyming. However, one item has to be changed: The correct word for your second line of the fourth verse should be "bizarre". You want the adjective that is defined as strange or peculiar, not the noun that means an open-air market or fund raiser.
