"Friend"
Some people take this word for granted
they use it to describe almost anyone
who touches their lives
But that's not fair
For not everyone fits this word.
It is easy to be a pal , a buddy
A companion or an acquantance
But to be a friend means so much more.
To be a friend means being trusted and trusting
Honest and dedicated ,
Supportive and available.
It means going strong with
your own life's work and plan
Yet reaching out to another when you're needed
And maybe even when you're not.
To be a friends is to be fun and fair
serious and silly.
To make the mundane exciting
The unexpected acceptable.
To be silent stronghold without being asked.
To feel happy for someone else's happiness
And to share the burden of sorrow ~~ !!
