A true friend never walks away <br />A true friend will always stay <br />A true friend looks out for you <br /> <br />A true friend will guard your secrets <br />Like a precious gift <br />A true friend is there for you <br />To give you a helpful lift <br /> <br />A true friend tries to make you smile <br />Tries to replace that frown <br />They may not always succeed <br />But they rarely let you down <br /> <br />These arms for you are open <br />This heart for you does care <br />And which I think you need me <br />I will always be there <br /> <br />I will listen to your fears <br />I promise not to laugh <br />Comfort your falling tears <br />I will make this friendship last <br /> <br />I will keep you near my heart <br />I will always hold you dear <br />Even when we’re miles apart <br />Even when you’re here <br /> <br />I hope I am to you <br />Everything you are to me <br />For the friendship we have <br />Is a special one indeed<br /><br />Ashleigh Gaffney<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-true-friend-7/
