Friendship.....what does it mean to you?

A friend is someone who stays with you regardless of the weather.
A friend is someone who supports you, when you're at the end of your tether.
A friend is someone who will desert you,... never.

A friend is someone who treats you with respect,
inspite of flaws and being less than perfect.
A friend is someone who knows when to listen,
and when to offer, some gentle friction.

A friend is someone with whom you feel at ease,
warts and all, no need to appease.
A friend is someone who stays in touch,
has you on speed-dial, (or .. some such).

A friend is someone who calls when running late,
or if for some reason, have to break a date.
A friend is someone who stands by your side
when things fall apart and you're caught in a tide.

A friend is someone who openly shares,
concerns and worries, life's many cares.
A friend is someone who offers you honesty,
steadfastness, and utmost, loyalty.

On the list of things, of what a friend ought to be,
perhaps it may be prudent to ask: Is this true, true of me?
Am I such a friend, a friend like this?
I hope that I am, and you wont find me remiss.


"A good way to find a friend, is to become one."
