A Friend Is...

International Day of Friendship July 30

By Mother CombsPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

A friend knows all your secrets

And loves you anyway.

A friend will be there for you, always

No matter what.

A friend will make you smile

When you want to cry

A friend always has an ear

When you need to talk.

A friend will give you advice

Even when you don't want to hear it.

A friend will invariably be there for you,

Through good times and bad.

If luck has blessed you with a friend like that,

Hold on to them tightly.

Because friends are like the stars,

Even if you can't constantly be with them,

But you know they're out there

And only a phone call away.

About the Creator

Mother Combs

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.
