The Kindness of a Friend
There comes a time in everyone's life when they need someone to talk to
Or a shoulder to cry on
Fortunate are those who have such a person there for them
These people are special
In our lives they come but once in a while
They listen and help, in good times and bad
They don't run when most others would
They stay, try to help, show they care
They listen with a caring ear
Intent on what is bothering you or making you happy
They are kind and generous
Their advice is meant to help
When you cry, they console, not laugh
Your tears are sometimes theirs
Your lives so deeply entwined
Your pain is shared, your sorrow felt
Sympathetic to what you're going through is how they are
This type of thing will not happen often
You could be lucky if it happens at all
If you are one of those fortunate ones
Be sure to tell your friend how you feel
Tell them what they mean to your life
How important they are to you
Life is precious, so are these people
Never lose the chance to let them know
