Friendship

A friend
There for you
As you
Are there for them
At your side
Supporting
Comforting
A shoulder
On which to lean
An arm
To give support
A hand
For themselves
A hand
For you
A smile
To lighten a gloomy day
A tear
To show they care
A broad back
To carry you
Open eyes
To watch out for you
And you
Listening
To their troubles
Laughing
At their pleasures
Carrying them
When
Their legs would fail
Directing them
When their footsteps
Would lead
To paths
Dangerous
Guiding them
Through obstacles
Loving them
As friend
