What's a Friend?


The person that laughs with you and is kind

but firm enough to make a stand against you,

the person standing by your side

when there are many all around,

the person helping you out

when you need a plan B,

the person that stops the rain

by making a joke or taking your hand,

the person that knows just when to stop

and just when to keep going,

the person who helps you with work

and makes you do it by yourself,

the person who fights by your side

and helps you learn how to fight back,

the person you walk to

in a room full of people,

the person you want around you

and the one you can't get away,

the person who needs you by their side

as much as you need them,

that is a friend
