My Friend

My friend knows how to make me laugh,
Yet knows when to let me cry.
My friend knows the secrets of my heart.
On her I can rely.

My friend stands by me through thick and thin,
Yet gives me the space I need.
My friend sees the wounds that others make
And knows not to let me bleed.

My friend knows when I'm feeling lost
And brings me back to earth.
My friend knows when I'm feeling down
And reminds me of my worth.

My friend can understand my heart
And seems able to read my mind.
If I attempt to disguise my pain
She refuses to be blind.

My friend is always there for me.
And if ever I call appears.
She soothes my crying, aching heart
And quietens all my fears.

My friend means more to me than all
That any money can buy.
I can never make it up to her
However much I try.
