A Friend.... 

Accepts you as you are 
Believes in "you" 
Calls you just to say "HI" 
Doesn't give up on you 
Envisions the whole of you 
(even the unfinished parts) 
Forgives your mistakes 
Gives unconditionally 
Helps you 
Invites you over 
Just "be" with you 
Keeps you close at heart 
Loves you for who you are 
Makes a difference in your life 
Never Judges 
Offers support 
Picks you up 
Quiets your fears 
Raises your spirits 
Says nice things about you 
Tells you the truth when you need to hear it 
Understands you 
Values you 
Walks beside you 
X-plain things you don't understand 
Yells when you won't listen and 
Zaps you back to reality
