Friends

When you need love and understanding
a friend is always around.
If you need advice and information
a friend is never far from your ground.

Friends never critisise or judge you
they are only too happy to please.
They will never turn against you
unless you are on for a tease.

A good friend is never far away
in times of sadness or glee.
Night,evening, morning or day
you know exactly where your friend will be.

Who could we turn to in good times and bad
if we didn't have our friends to write or talk to.
Who would remind us of the good times we had
and how much we are loved for all we do.

At times we may have to wait awhile
to connect to our friend's online.
But far and wide across the miles
It's worth the wait to talk to friends of mine.

a nice sentiment. friends are indeed one of life's treasures.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

I really enjoyed your last stanza. Whenever I think I was born in the wrong era, I remember how many wonderful friends I have that I could only have met online. Nice thoughts.

An aquaintance is common, but a true friend is rare, so if you find one, treat them like a treasure.
Nicely written reminder to love our friends.
