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.
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!
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!

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
