Friend Poem by Clare McWilliams

Friend, who is that?
Someone who needs me.
Seems that way.
What goes around, comes around
I say...
Am I then helping for selfish reasons?

Friend, who is that?
Someone who I need.
In what way?
They listen to me talk all day...
Am I not listening to them enough?

A Friend, who is that?
A taker who does not feel obliged to give.
A giver that does not expect to take.
A worrier of giving or taking too much.

My Friend is you.
