MY FRIEND...

MY FRIEND..

My friend, I am so glad you 

are and stayed  my friend..

You have always been there for me, 

 right through the bitter end.. 

My friend, you've held my hand

 through sadness and my tears.. 

You never turn away ..

when others disappeared...

My friend, you've never judged me 

when my opinions were loudly spoken..

You just smiled and shook your head..

 Our bond was never broken...

My friend, when others caved 

and left me for another..

You, my  friend,  stayed true..

while others didn't bother..

My friend, you've given me  respect, 

sometimes I don't deserve ..

That is what I mean, true 

friendship at every turn..

My friend, the years have flown 

so quickly, I sadly say..

We grew old together,

 Weren't we young 

 just only yesterday..

My friend, you may be someone 

I met the other day...

We knew in just an instant, 

we'd always be friends that day...

My friend,  it matters not

 when our journey started..

Your friendship means so much

I am so glad we never parted..
