You Are My Friend
by William August Kobs
You are my friend —
Time and time again
You lend a helping hand
And try to understand
The way I feel.
You are my friend —
Since the day we met
It’s you I can’t forget
You always come around
And pick me up when I’m down.
You are my friend —
That’s one thing I will treasure
Loving you is such a pleasure
I hope you will stay with me
Cause I need you, can’t you see.
You are my friend —
Yes there have been others
But none that cared so much
With a gentle, loving touch
As you care for me.
You are my friend —
Please don’t leave me now
I would crumble and fall
I would surely lose it all
I don’t think I could survive.
Sometimes I believe
That all my friends
Have turned against me.
In my search for what is real,
In my struggle to be me,
I have left a place for you —
You are my friend.

a very nice poem indeed William, and this must be one special friend, the true test of course when the chips are down and the cards are on the table. Your personality shines in your pen and it is always a pleasure to read. Thanks for sharing again.
peace as always,
Bernie

And I will say you have it sir, that is the true measure of a friend, not just someone who listens or cares but who ultimately although it may be difficult, will do their best to understand you and how you feel. Very nice

As long as the place is there then a true friend will slip into it, ditch the others they are only hangers on. Blessed are we with a true frined or two. Thoughtful words a pleasure to read.
