What is a Friend?

What is it exactly that makes one a friend?
Is it someone who tries to help broken hearts mend?
Is it someone there for you when you are in need?
These are a few signs of a true friend indeed

When you need to talk, you know they are near
You can always count on them to lend you their ear
They may not have the answers but you know they care
A true friend is just like a fresh breath of air

As sure as the leaves reappear in the spring
As sure as the robins come morning will sing
As sure as when sun sets it will rise again
As sure as I live, you have a true friend

© Jack Roberts – October 7, 2003

I've never been able to write a good poem about this subject. They always get too sentimental or too maudlin or something. I'm glad somebody else has done it.

Friends are forever and always, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer and extend beyond the horizon.
Love always :)Sandy

A true friend is so hard to find Jack. Sounds like you are indeed a true friend to someone. Some say they are friends of all. That may be so, but a true friend is someone in your life who is more precious than diamonds; more precious than gold. The emotional support from a true friend is immeasurable. You are so right my friend. Bill

To me a friend is somebody that is willing to tell you something for you own good, even if they know it's going to make you mad, and still be there when it's time to make up.
Great write Jack! Lisa
