If you look to pin-point my faults and flaws
You will find quite a few, I fear
But if you are looking my way because
You want a friend, I am here
***
The critical eye is greedy and cruel
Preying on weakness and dirt
He fills his plate with envy and hate
And a scoop of gossip for dessert
***
Love knows we are not perfect
Yet is willing to suffer a bit
To get to the flower, it suffers our thorns
And love’s us in spite of it
***
Life has a myriad of things it will send
But none takes the place of a really good friend
***
A really good friend is life’s most cherished gift
When burdens grow heavy friends give us a lift
They know without asking what they need to do
Life’s burdens are lighter when carried by two
***
I do not ask for wealth of gold
But simply this, a hand to hold
And when I come to this life’s end
I’d like to know I was a friend
