New Friend

Friends

When sorrow seems to drown you,

And the world turns away.

Reach out your hand my friend,

For I am here to stay.



I will give you comfort,

I will make you smile.

I will lift up your spirits,

And with you I will walk the mile.



I will feel what you are feeling,

Weather you’re trapped or free.

For I look in your eyes,

And your emotions will hit me.



I will try to understand you,

In all of your days.

Because everyone deals with problems,

In their own special ways.



I will never judge you,

Never make you feel unsure.

I will always listen,

When you come knocking on my door.



I will always be honest,

In all that I say.

For I want you to truly know me,

In each and every way.



I will give you my trust,

And open up my heart.

For in my life,

You will always be a part.



I will never be shallow,

Never fake to your face.

For in my heart Ate,

You have already won a place.



I see you not only as a friend,

But as a sister so dear.

So open up your heart,

And allow me to get near.
