A Friend Poem by Eric Cockrell

i think sometimes
what we need most of all,
more than money, possessions,
sex, or accolades...
is a friend.

someone to walk beside you,
that you can talk to,
and listen to...
someone that you can
laugh with, cry with, fight with,
be crazy with... and they still
walk beside you.

someone who can see you
for what you are... and they still
walk beside you....

a friend! ... and they say
the only way to find one
is to be one!
