A Friend Poem by David Harris

A Friend

Rating: 5.0


A friend is someone whose arms reach out
far beyond their reach,
to comfort a troubled soul,
and help them through their troubled times.

A friend is someone who always freely gives,
expecting nothing in return,
and is always there
whenever the need may arise.

A friend is someone who cares from the heart.
Who will stand by your side
whenever the troubles start.

A friend is someone whose face may never be seen,
but whose touch is always felt
and their words always
comfort your ailing soul.

A friend is someone who will never criticize,
but will listen to a troubled mind
without complaining.

A friend is someone who is all these,
and so much more.
Someone who will never ignore you,
but will always have the time.

I thought it was a good idea to start with this poem... this is a beautiful poem, and so true. The very best or truest of friends are irreplaceable, I am someone that doesn't have a lot of friends but the ones I have, I found, are the best people on earth. They have stuck by me through thick and thin, old friends and new ones too. Thanks for the reminder that I have to call some of them tomorrow, that's what this poem has done for me! This is a 10!

Dear, dear David, how wonderful and true and yet so sad is this beautiful write. A True Friend. Sometimes the one you trust most, destroys you or deserts you in the end....We all need one to stand up for us and at least, if nothing else be there to encourage us...Fortunate are those that have you in their corner for your words speak volumes about your heart....Guard your heart David, things are NOT always as they seem and, well, it can destroy a loving, sensitive soul and make it loose all hope, worse yet, just give up! ! ! . no one can fight the world alone, even if it is but one who has taken their world from them, , , by world I mean their spirit and heart and the will to go on...God Bless You David and keep your heart safe...always, marci.m., , , ,

Its actually true should be on that way, but we are now living in the world that sometimes we can only find a real friend by God love. seldom a friend who be there for us. Love this poem, a real love of a friendship we actually should have. God bless, Mary
