A FRIEND By Bruce B. Wilmer A friend's an attitude within you, A talk you always can continue, A feeling you have known awhile, A thought that sparks an inner smile. A friend's a person you hold dear, Who ventures far, yet stays quite near, Whose presence sets the spirit free, Who brings out candor, honesty. A friend shares all your joys and tears, Feels triumph with you, knows your fears, Accepts your strengths and weakness, too, Won't let small things dull friendship's hue. A friend will walk life's miles with you And nourish values sound and true. Though paths may sometimes drift apart, True friendship never leaves the heart. |
