A friend is one who stands by you in good times and bad times
The one who is there in time you need help without him knowing.
A friend is one who listens to your story, happy or sad
The one who is willing to let you in and the one you can trust.
A friend is one who truly cares about your well being
The one who nurses your pain and hurt without prejudice.
A friend is one who genuinely shares your moment of glory
Who unfailingly stands for you in time of your disgrace and agony.
A friend is one who nurtures you in the LOVE of GOD.
The one who offers strength with gentleness and wisdom.
A friend is one who doesn't turn you away for goodness sake
But is there for you near or far in THOUGHT, WORD and DEED.
