amis

a friend is a fearless companion through times of doubt and darkness

a word too loosely used

does not apply to those who shirk you off when times are troubled or inconvenient

a friend would never let you alone

if they knew their company was needed

a friend sacrifices what is easy for what is difficult

if it means getting down the road arm in arm

and at the end of the day

a friend is the one you call to laugh with

and share a pint

or a sunset

on an old wooden porch

or a little patch of grass

because it doesn’t matter where you are

when your hearts are as big as the star-filled sky and a pregnant moon

when you know you will never walk alone

when you are in the company of true friends
