A friend is someone very dear
Who shares your hopes and dreams,
Who shows you that the grayest day
Is brighter than it seems.
Someone who overlooks your faults
And likes you as you are,
Who will always keep in touch with you
Though you be near or far.
Someone who will always be there
To lend a helping hand
For if you ever trip or fall
They'll help you take a stand.
And if things aren't working out
The way you want them to--
They are always willing to take the time
To share a moment or two.
Friends are there to help you
In your moments of despair
They are alway there beside you
To show how much they care.

Oh, this is all true. A friend understands and is always there even when you push them away.  Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you Ctowen and Irish Rose for reading and Yes Irish Rose you are right,  a true friend will stay by your side no matter how hard you push them away.  Trust me,  I have tried over and over again to push Jane away and that woman just never got the message.  She just kept coming back for more.  And I thank God every day that she has stayed my friend, after everything I have put that woman through.  She truly is a blessing in my life.
