Here's what makes me what I am, <br /> I am concerned about my friends, <br /> I could and should have walked away, <br /> - - - but, didn't. <br /> <br /> I took on all the tough stuff with them, <br /> while most thought only of themselves, <br /> they never said 'good-bye', but left ... <br /> to live what they thought life should be. <br /> <br /> - - - they never understood , <br /> - - - that what they thought was good, <br /> - - - is nothing like reality! <br /> <br /> Not everyone agrees with me, <br /> but, some will follow me to hell and back, <br /> - - - and we know who we are! <br /> More importantly - - - <br /> we know who isn't there!<br /><br />Barry Van Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-good-friend-7/
