A friend will listen
And offer advice
A friend will love you
No matter your viceA friend will be there
And never think twice
A friend you can trust
A friend you can tell
All your memoriesThose that were heaven
Those that were hell
A friend will cry with you
Make you laugh, as well
A friend will listen
And never tell
Friends are few
Search out the land
True friends you can always
Count on one hand
Hold them close
Hold them dear
For they will be there
Year after year

A very cheerful and upbeat poem. It was a little too sing-songy for my taste, and perhaps too generic. It reminds me of something one would find in a hallmark card.
My apologies, but this is just not what I was looking for.
Thanks for entering.

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. I am pleased you enjoyed this poem.
I did write this with one special friend in mind, but it is also meant for anyone I call a friend. I consider everyone a friend, until they prove otherwise. So Moya my friend, please consider this poem is for you as well.

this is so true.. i think we all know the truth of these words, really. to be honest with you though, its very cliche. maybe if you used some uncommon words to express your ideas it could really be so powerful! just a suggestion.. well anyways but i love the theme here, good luck

Thanks Again. I will have to try to find some uncommon words. It might be a challenge for me, since I am a fairly common person, but I will work on it.
Thank you for the suggestions, I do really appreciate them.
Thanks

A beautiful tribute to a friend...and when we look back on our lives we can count the ones that were true friends because if we just look around there they are...still with us...

Thank you very much. We are thinking alike, they are still here. When I saw the boy in the picture, it just looked to me, as if he could have used a good friend just then. Thank you for your consideration and kind words.
