What is the name of a person whose shoulder you can cry on,

Whose secrets you can depend on,

Your secrets you can spill on?

What is the name of a person whose smile is like the sweet morning sun,

Whose laugh rings like a song,

Whose embrace is as a maple in the autumn breeze?

What is the name of a person who

Understands,

Forgives,

Forgets,

Loves,

Cares’

Remembers’

And is always there for you?

…friend?
