How many friends do you have in your life?
Not acquaintances, coworkers, fair-weather friends,
Not neighbors or vendors you see on occasion
Exchanging a joke-de-jour, flashing a grin.
A friend... A true friend is a diamond uncut,
A treasure unmeasured by gemstone or gold,
A movie awaiting a storybook ending,
A welcoming shelter, relief from the cold.
Who can you tell your most intimate secrets
And not expect judgement or guilt in return?
Who do you go to when life gives you roses?
Who shares desire for the things that you yearn?
Whose is the shoulder you seek in your sorrow?
Whose are the eyes that reflect your delight?
Who is the one who will stand at your side
And go toe to toe when you fight the good fight?
Who sees you through and then comes back to you
Sharing joys and sorrows, the good times, the strife?
The question unanswered. Think through it once more.
How many friends do you have in your life?
