When tears fall from my eyes, <br />You are there to brush them aside. <br />When i stood before you falling apart, <br />You are there to lend your heart. <br />When i feel like no-one can understand, <br />You are there to take my hand. <br />When no-one is left to care, <br />You are the one who is always there. <br />For this i am forever grateful, <br />Having you as my friend. <br />And for that i hope our friendship, <br />Will never end.<br /><br />Claire Riley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-friend-whos-always-there-3/
