Real Friends

 

They are like night and day

Always there,

Even when not seen, I know they’ll be here

Treat me like a brother, oh how much they care

How many are they?

Who do stick around when we try and fail?

To help us through the day

Looking beyond the veil

And not shun us, to betray or turn their back in the face of dismay

What can I say? God bless and a million thanks!

I feel like I owe them a hundred favors

But they say that they owe me a hundred favors instead

Often when the rainy days come

To them I run as I would to nine one, one.

When I have nothing but problems and empty pockets

Unlike some, they don’t cough up

Nor act like there are crocodiles in their pockets

Again I say thanks, but even more kind is the reply I get

“It’s nothing but a mere drop in the bucket” they say

For real, my heart gets filled with joy

because honestly it was more than just a mere drop

My great homey told me

Real friends don’t count favors

But even if I tried I’d fail, I couldn’t keep count

Which doesn’t mean I forgot

Though they did for me and forgot about it

Expecting no rewards, no refunds

Simply expressing brotherly love

A reason valid enough for me to value our friendship beyond any price

So we roll together, don’t be surprised

We get along like we’re from the same tribe,

Sharing the same blood, creatures of the same God

With or without, we don’t judge

Like a tennis ball against the wall;

In two ways we let the love bounce

I know one who stood for me to take a punch

Exceedingly grateful for every bit of love

Because little is much and much is just little multiplied

Never feel like you haven’t done enough

Because to me every little bit counts

A nice tribute to true friendship. "Even when not seen, I know they’ll be here" kind of sums it up.
