Friends ( a poem by me)

Friends

Just what is a friend?
Wat does friendship mean to you?
Here is my definition of a friend

F- fun to be with, forever by your side
R-respects you for who you are, respects your wishes and opinions as you do theirs but have a right to make your own decisions and you each accept them
I-is there when you need them and even when you don’t need them
E-enjoys being with you but sometimes needs their space too
N-notices when you are down and tries to bring you up
D-dependable, determined to stay with you through thick and thin no matter what
S-shares their fears, and dreams with you without fear of being critizied

There are no limitations on friendships and for those that but limitations on friendships will not find a true friend.
Friends are there whenever you need them And it helps to know that they are even there when you don't.
Friends are there with you through thick and thin.
To share your joy and your pain or whatever comes around the bend.
Friends are there to help each other through whatever comes their way.
Friends do not turn their backs on each other
They are always there for one another
The bond between friends can not be broken
Even if there are some unkind words or deeds spoken
Freinds are there to share laughter and pain
Love, hopes, dreams, sorrow and joy
They are always there for each other
That is what friends are for.
