Friend
a person who
  stays by you 
 dependable 
 a shoulder to lean on 
 a person who's welcoming 
 and brings a smile to one's face
 they're there for the best 
 and the worst 
 bring tears of joy 
 and tears of sorrow 
 chuck you off your path 
 and help you back up 
 we can't live with them 
 we can't live without them 
 they surround us 
 even when we think they're miles away 
 they're still in our memories 
 still in our hearts 
 they make life worth it 
 when the world is horrible and you're alone 
 they're still there 
 they're the 
 cherry on top 
 the frosting on the cake 
 the bacon bits in the salad 
 they have the power to change a frown into a smile 
 a tear into a laugh
 when it's raining they bring the umbrella 
 and wait it out with you
 what would we do 
 without people like you
