A True Friend

Who is a true friend?
Not just who says ‘Hello!’ as a trend
A person who thoroughly knows you
In spite of your weakness loves you
Whenever you are in danger
Unlike others waits no longer
Comes to your rescue when needed
And gives you counsel when heeded
All your secrets, in whom you confide
In sorrow, a solace you will find
Your joys increase as you share
With a friend so faithful and loving care
A True Friend
