I Stand By My Friend Poem by Francis Duggan

I stand by my friend since my friend stands by me
When others criticize me with them she does not agree
She will not allow others for to put me down
I love her as a friend the best in the town
A friend is for a lifetime and not for a week
And to others ill of me she never does speak
She praise the good in me of me she doesn't lie
She will be my friend until the day that I die
I am not short of doubters in the World out there
And I love her as a friend since friends they are rare
To her higher self she remains ever true
She is a special person to give to her fair due
She will not allow others to put me down
I love her as a friend the best in the town.
