That’s What Friends Are For

What are friends for?

For picking us up when we fall

For bringing us down to earth

For keeping us humble when we brag

For reassuring us of our worth

That’s what friends are for

 

Where are friends found?

In silver frames that sit by beds

In hours of desperate need

In long lost laughter fresh discovered

In my heart until its last blood bleed

That’s where you’re ever found

 

When are friends true?

When nonjudgmental hands tend wounds

When black fears aren’t faced alone

When words gone unsaid don’t go unheard

When eyes cry for sorrows not their own

That’s when I’ll be there for you

Author notes

This poem is dedicated to my best friend. The first person to show me the full spectrum of friendship. From the bright to the dark. And taught me the preciousness of all.

12. Friendship
