when troubles come your soul to try
you love the friend who just stands by
perhaps there is nothing they can do
the thing is strictly up to you

for there are troubles all your own
and paths the soul must tread alone
times when love cannot smooth the road
nor friendship lift the heavy load


but just to feel you have a friend
who will stand by until the end
whose sympathy through all endures
whose warm handclasp is always yours


it helps somehow to pull you through
although there is nothing they can do
and so with fervent heart we cry
God bless the friend who just stands by

I have a lot of very good friends and family that are are good friends to me, they are always there when I need them. It is good to have true friends that except you for who you are, good and bad. I thank God every day for them.

A friend will defend you and also show you the "right" way!

So true!:)

i have never met a man so in turn with his emotions or the feelings of others. deadman you should collect all your poems and get them published.

Thats some outstanding verse, Z! I don't normally read any kind of poetry, but you've honestly touched me with this one...
Once again, man....Outstanding!

We all need friends who care and stand by us

Love your writing. I thank God for my best friend who tells me what is right even if its not what I plan on doing. We met in 7th grade and will always be friends. You words are an inspiration to friendship. Well said!

It is good to remember that we have those special friends who listen, care and love us through the good and the bad times in life.
