A friend

An open ear and a dry shoulder

A restful soul and a faith holder

A friend who’s there like an old boulder

To be wise is only

To grow older

 

When trouble finds you

Always unprepared

Seek me out my friend

You'll find

That I care

A friend defined, and you were able to put this into words. I have found that real friends, hard if not impossible to come by. The rhyme scheme is simple yet well expressed.

Poems like this are uplifting to me. Thanks for sharing.
