A Friend Poem by Shelley Caines

Everyone has someone they call a friend,
But where are they when you need them.
Everyone has someone they call a friend,
But where are they when you need a shoulder to cry on.
Everyone has someone they call a friend,
But where are they when you need to talk.
Everyone has someone they call a friend,
But where are they when you have a REAL problem.
Well, I have someone I call a friend,
And they never seem to be there when I need them.
You be my friend, I'll be yours
We'll stick together, like closed doors.
So let me be your real friend,
And we'll help each other 'til the end.
