A friend

A friend can help when in need,
and can be a shoulder to cry on,
a friend can make you smile indeed,
a person you can always rely on.
 
A friend isn’t a person you pass by,
on the street or on the road,
a friend is a person you can call,
whenever you are feeling bored.
 
Even if you are feeling sad,
and feel like talking to a friend,
together you will recall the good times you've had,
until the very end.
 
They are the people you stick with throughout,
through all the ups and downs,
these are the people who are about,
getting a smile from a frown.
