What Is A Friend?

A friend is someone who won't ask any questions
Because they can tell that you are not ready
A friend is someone who will sit there in silence
Providing support until your heart is steady

A friend is someone who will stand by your side
No matter what this world may throw in the way
A friend is someone who won't abandon you
In times of trouble, they will choose to stay

A friend is someone who can look in your eyes
And see the pain despite the smile on your face
A friend is someone who will hold you so close
And pull you into their personal space

A friend is someone who will wipe dry your face
And chase away tears when you are feeling sad
A friend is someone who will listen to you
And let you vent your frustration when you're mad

A friend is someone who will know what to say
To help you through when you find yourself in trouble
A friend is someone who will always be looking
For a way to wrap you in a protective bubble

A friend is someone who gets sad when you cry
Because your pain means more to them than their own
A friend is someone who would do most anything
To be there waiting when you call them on the phone

A friend is someone who will take your hand
And lead you through dangers that you cannot see
A friend is someone who will light up the darkness
And show you the way out of your misery

A friend is someone who will not be afraid
To give you a hug or to show emotion
A friend is someone who will not be embarrassed
To publicly show to the world their devotion

A friend is someone who always puts you first
Your wishes and hopes and dreams mean much more
A friend is someone who will carry you when
You don't have the strength to get up off the floor

A friend is someone who's always on your mind
Someone who always has you on their's, too
A friend is someone who will always be there
Someone you know that will always be true
