A friend stands behind you,
when no one else might.
A good friend stands by you,
through battles you fight.
A close friend stands with you
when things aren't so good.
A best friend stands for you
when no one else would.

I love the carefree way this poem is written and the ease of understanding it lends to the reader. It seems that you my friend are a wise one. I understand all that is written here to be TRUTH! Excellent take on the prompt. I wish you well in the challenge.
Much Love & Respect ♥

that's me
I don;t deliver hidden messages, what you read is pretty much what you get. metaphors, imagery, masking, all that stuff... to me, I just write what I think... straight to the point. And, if there is not point, then what is the point? - Kevin

You are the master of rhyme with a reason. It takes you very few characters to make a point. That is something that I cannot do and you do so well. Thanks for another adventure into the world of Kevin. RC

ah...
maybe because that is what you have told yourself you can't do. If you haven't - go read "A Stark revelation" this is where someone I respected corrected my words... You CAN do it. - Kevin

Although all your poems make me really happy to read something that makes sense, I'm always surprised at how true the messages they tell are.
I've read many things about 'good friends', most are complete rubbish. This is just wonderful.

I
humbly agree with you, I read greeting cards and think who would send this stuff? I'm glad you "get it" - Kevin

Yep, I like the progression throught the degrees of friendship, and the flow and rhyme scheme is good.
Best of luck in the contest.
