Good Friend

All good friends have it tough

Always there when things get rough

Listening, helping, trying hard

Ignoring the pain, getting scarred

Being good listeners is who they are

Keeping it shut but also ajar

Their eyes in yours shows that they care

Your concern, they are aware

To not tell anyone, they can do

They'll keep your word just for you

It's difficult, tough, hard work you see

For them you think it's quite easy

Once you put yourself in their place

You'll realise how much they face

From your problems and their own

It's too much to be shown

For help, you come straight over

To find some luck like a four leaf clover

You may strike luck or a clue

They can try their best to help you

Don't get angry when they find

No answer to the questions behind

You don't know how much it hurts

You could leave stains on shirts

Talking about others behind backs

They can feel like a hacking axe

Especially if it's something bad

Can boil up and make them mad

If you could get to know them more

It could open up another door

Understand them back and you will see

What they feel but no need to agree

Just make sure you give them time

For some space and some prime

Once you put yourself in their place

You'll realise how much they face

All good friends have it tough

Always their when things get rough

Listening, helping, trying hard

Ignoring the pain, getting scarred

Don't just take granted of your friend

Because all will disappear in the end

Make sure you are a good friend too

Two good friends will forever stay true
