the meaning of a friend ( Archived) (3)

someone turned to me and asked
how many friends have you?
why 10 to 20 friends i believe
and began to named a few


a blessed one you are
to have so many friends
but think of what you're saying
a friend is just not someone
to whom you say hello


a friend is a tender shoulder
on which to softly cry
a well to pour your troubles down
and raise your spirits high


a friend is a hand to pull you up
from darkest and despair
when all your other so called friends
helped to put you there


a true friend is an ally
who can't be moved or bought
a voice to keep your name alive
when others have forgot


but most of all a friend has a true heart
for from the hearts of friends
there comes the greatest love of all


so think about all this
for every word is true
and once again answer please
how many friends have you?


after much thought i answered
i really only have just one
it's you


a friend is always special
because friends love you
just because you're you

now look around you and ask yourself honestly

HOW MANY TRUE FRIENDS DO YOU HAVE

i have more true friends here than i have ever had they are real people and they read my thoughts and my feelings

i love them truly and they know who they are

they have been with me since i have been here or as of late and it seems like i have knowen them forever
