A Friend Like You

When I have down times
Days dreary and blue,
I receive help right on time
From a friend like you.

When I have struggles
Days tough to get through,
I receive a hand on mine
From a friend like you.

When I face battles
Days attacks are renewed,
I receive just what I need
From a friend like you.

When I think again of
Days you brought solace too,
I receive true friendship
From a friend like you.

Thank you for being my friend!

    Loyd,

    This is a very poignant and sweet poem. I get the feeling that you are a very sensitive and good person as it really comes through in your work. It's nice to have friends like that and even better to be one in return.10/10
