A friend will help lift you up, <br />When you’re knocked to the ground. <br />A friend will stand by your side, <br />When no one else will be around. <br /> <br />A friend will share their secrets, <br />And will always protect yours. <br />A friend will help you through <br />All the blocked and locked doors. <br /> <br />A friend will never judge you, <br />When everyone else looks down. <br />A friend will try to save you, <br />When you feel like you may drown. <br /> <br />A friend will always be there, <br />Just when you least expect. <br />A friend will not turn away, <br />They’ll give you the respect. <br /> <br />A friend will always listen, <br />If you just need to scream. <br />A friend will never laugh <br />At your fantasies and dreams. <br /> <br />A friend will stand behind you, <br />As you stand to face your fears. <br />A friend will hold out their hand, <br />To help you dry away your tears.<br /><br />Jon M.
