This is an old poem of mine, and this is a great time to share it. To friends, old and new - THANK YOU!
You were there in my time of need
Not knowing the meaning of greed
If I need it, you’ll give your last dime
Rich or poor, you gave me a good time
You did everything a friend should
And treated me the best you could
You comforted me when I was sad
And laughed with me when I was glad
I recall the times we used to share
And I want you to know I still care
I will always try to be there
Whenever, wherever you need my cheer
When you need me, I’ll be there in a hurry
When you are down, you don’t have to worry
Though some things you do may be wrong
Our friendship will ever remain strong
