just what is a friend
should be easy to answer
in truth it is not
one upon whom to depend
one who can depend on you
~*~
but much more than that
friends will choose to cry with you
and you cry with them
completely accepting you
even knowing all your faults
~*~
even more than that
friends will listen to your words
when they don't make sense
I could write a thousand words
and still not define a friend
~*~

It is so hard to define a friend, but I have always been told that a friend is one who knows you and accepts you regardless of your faults. You indeed are a friend to all.

Wonderfully done, Interloper!! A friend is one you can depend on always, no matter what happens or where life takes you. A true treasure and blessing. Much enjoyed this!!

A friend is one who'll never cease
as in true Love won't death release.
