For all my friends

[allotmentlady]

I need to know if your my true friend, will you be by my side until the end?
Can I tell you my secrets and trust them in your heart to keep?
None of us are without our flaws, can you accept mine as I will yours?
I�ll be a shoulder to cry on when you�re blue,will you be there for me when I need you?
No matter how busy I will make time for you, if you are busy will you make time for me too?
I will take your hand and comfort your tears, will you hold me and soothe my fears?
I will give you joy and many warm smiles, can we share that even across many miles?
I will not forget what�s important to you, will you remember what�s important to me too?
With you my most favourite thing I�ll share,
If only I know do you truly care?
If you can accept me as I do you,
then I will know you are a friend most true.

We don�t need to meet to be friends on here and this poem is to my friends, old and new

A very nice poem and how true the words ring out.

Everybody needs at least one true friend,that special unbreakable bond where you can rely on each other 100%

Thank you Al

I'm still getting going on that sort of friendship here, but that is what a FRIEND really is. For an older poem with similar sentiments, and definition of 'friend' see Kipling "The thousandth man" It really is quite rare, and very precious.

That is a lovely poem and yes to all of it.

[lottie dolly]

that is so lovely al,and very true,are you the poet ?

[Pumpkin Becki]

That's truly beautiful. It made me think of my very best friend who is on the other side of the country but is always there for me, and I for her.

[Finedon.Dandy]

Wow. Lovely.

And it had me in tears. I have a friend who emigrated to Canada three years ago, and that's her to a tee. I still miss her hideously, even though she's in constant e-mail contact, but it's not the same. I could tell her anything and she wouldn't judge me. Friendship like that is rarer than rocking horse pooh.
