True Friends Poem by Rosemary Monahan

True friends are always there
whenever you need someone.
Whether you need to talk or laugh
Or when you need a shoulder
or a helping hand.
You know you can rely on them
until the very end.
You may wonder, without them
in your life, what would you do.
And you tell them how much
they really mean to you.
So in turn, you want to be
a true friend to them
Always being there
like they have always been.

(1991)
