My True Friend
You always answer when I call
And help me up if I should fall,
But you never complain at all,
My true friend.
What is a true friend? A true friend says what they think their friend needs to hear even when they know that their friend may get angry. A true friend doesn't leave because they are afraid to be with you. A true friend doesn't leave when the fun stops and things get uncomfortable. These are just of few of the values that real friends hold dear. In short, A true friend recognizes the value of the friendship and holds it sacred.
You always answer when I call
And help me up if I should fall,
But you never complain at all,
My true friend.
I absolutely love this poem and truly hope you shared it with the friend you wrote it to. Although my experience with this sort of thing has not been very lucky (maybe it's because my poem...

Friends...
They're the few people who accept silence over conversation.
A relationship like this denies silly promises and persuasion.
You don't feel the need to second guess thoughts or measure words.
This poem is beautiful and means a lot to me. It sums up friendships perfectly, and it reminds me of my relationship with my best friend. I thank you for putting in words what I struggle to...

True friends are by your side through it all.
True friends are there to catch you when you fall.
True friends give your life a happy lift.
True friends are a most precious gift.

Friendship means being there just to be there.
Friendship means listening and not asking questions.
Friendship means lending your shoulder for someone to cry on.
Friendship means being comfortable around each other in silence.
I have met a few women where I live now, and I can honestly say that not one of them have ever respected my boundaries, my family values, my responsibilities to my life and family or even...
Music is the ocean
That pulls me to the shore.
Music is the rhythm
That moves me to the core.
I used to get bullied at school and one day I heard this song on the radio in a shop and it made me feel happy and uplifted so I asked the store manager what it's name was and she replied...
When a friend calls to me from the road
And slows his horse to a meaning walk,
I don't stand still and look around
On all the hills I haven't hoed,
Excellent! The case almost unattended in today's crazily hasty waste of morality and spirituality in favor of modernity! A nice moral lesson for those entrapped in the network of virtual...

You're the one I most admire
with great intentions and loving desires.
Passion and trust and knowing that you care
Thank you to the poet of this poem. I love it because that's exactly the things about friendship.
If you told me to describe a true friend,
I'd describe you in a heartbeat.
If you wanted to know how unique you are,
I'd tell you no one could ever make a repeat.
This poem reminds me of my friend Mutonyi. He is that kind of friend that is very unique. He never judges my many flaws. He is one friend I am always afraid of losing. I always hope that ours...

Friends are far, friends are near.
Friends will be there to lend an ear.
They listen, laugh, and care,
But most of all, they're always there.
What an interesting poem. Reminds me of the friends I had when I was back at school...

The past you cannot forget or undo;
The future is all we can look forward to.
I wish I could have been there by your side
I always believed in having friends, but after spending half my life looking for true friends and losing the ones I thought I found... I have come to a conclusion that real friends only...
