To A True Friend

In times of glee
In times of grief,
You laughed with me.
You cried with me.

When I delved deep
Into tearful thoughts,
You dived right in
And helped me win.

When I fell fast
From the crest of woe,
You heard my call.
You slowed my fall.

When I had none
In troubled nights,
You took my palm.
You kept me calm.

You nurtured me.
You fostered me.
You gave me hope.
You helped me cope.

You're a much needed
One in my life.
Let sweet friendship
Last evermore.
