The lasting friendship that we share <br />Is knowing that you're always there, <br />To make me smile when tears flow <br />And pick me up when I feel low. <br /> <br />To be there when I need a friend <br />To comfort me until the end, <br />And be my rock to which I cling <br />You are my all and everything. <br /> <br />To share my thoughts upon each day <br />To guide me and show me the way, <br />And keep me warm when I am cold <br />A loving hand that I can hold. <br /> <br />And always to believe in me <br />To see the colours that I see, <br />And share the sounds that I do hear <br />The friendship that I hold so dear.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lasting-friendship/
