What Is a Friend

What is a friend? you may inquire,
Someone who is close, someone you admire;

     A friend will always be there… even to the end,
     And when you are threatened, he’ll dare to defend;

Someone who helps you through a rough day,
And listens to the things that you have to say;

     He’ll always make you glad whenever you are sad,
     A friend is like a family, just like your mom and dad;

Someone who is caring when your feeling blue,
Someone that you can tell anything to;

     Someone with a sincere song to sweetly sing,
     Someone who will care for you as if you’re a king;

Someone that is willing to stand by your side,
And just saying their name fills you with pride;

     A friend would never lend you luggage of loss and lies,
     He’ll be there for you when the cloud soils your skies;

They are always there when your down in a rut,
And the have your back no matter what;

     As pleasant as a pillow, he’ll ever cocoon you in comfort,
     Someone safe and sound… he is your firm and fearless fort;

Someone that is open to all that you do,
Someone there watching over you;

     A friend’s a lady like Tirzah Conway, yes you heard me right,
     She is a flawless flower… always lending me love and light;

A friend is like Adeleke Adeite, always there for you,
So full of honesty and friendship so true!


~A joint effort between myself and Adeleke Adeite~
