A Friend
She's a person who will listen when you need her most
She's someone who can you can depend on for care
She's someone who will not flee when bad times come
Instead she will be there to help you when you most need it
She will always make you smile
When you to your friend you you talk about joy and suffering
She picks you up when you fall
The pleasure of friendship is exquisite
And hours pass as though they are seconds when you are together
