True Friends

When you are sad,

I will dry your tears.

When you are scared,

I will comfort your fears.

When you are worried,

I will give you hope.

When you are confused,

I will help you cope.

And when you are lost

and can't see the light,

I shall be your beacon,

shining ever so bright.

This is my oath,

I pledge till the end.

Why you may ask,

because you're a friend.

In a friendship

We're free to expose,

Parts of ourselves

Nobody else knows.

The thing that sustains it,

And sets it apart,

Is not something spoken,

It's a bond of the heart.

True friends are rare,

In a lifetime two or three,

I'm so glad it happened,

Between you and me!
