Once a Friend, Always
Every soul has a special few
Their life they never leave,
To share those special moments with
Whether you laugh, cry, or grieve.
No matter what you ask of them
They come back again and again,
Others may know and think of you in different ways
But they only know you as 'friend'.
Knowing your mind, your soul, your heart
More deeply than the rest,
It never ceases to amaze
How much a friend cares, test after test.
Friends always seem to show up
When you feel down and out, alone,
To bring you back onto your feet
And treat you as if on a throne.
No matter what changes occur in your life
Whether it be good or bad to them,
They continue to give their full support
Saying to you it's not even a problem.
You can joke, pout, scream, and fight
They can take it all,
That is what builds friendships strong
You know there will never be a wall.
Lover may come and go
In and out of your life,
But once you know you have a friend
He will always be by your side.
Love, what a precious, special thing
A endless constant that friends provide,
True friendships last a lifetime
Once you find one, hold on tight.
