A true friend knows when you need a smile.
Makes you feel special, when you are really down.
Knows your laughter from anothers, 
without seeing your face.
Keeps all secrets and conversations stored
in the heart-a sacred place.
Greets you with kindness, 
even when they are going through.
Helps you if they can, 
with what ever you need them to.
Holds your hand when you are feeling grief.
Lends and ear just to listen, 
when you need relief.
Never tries to down any decision you make.
Knows its better to give sometimes, 
instead of being ready to take.
Many people imitate, and may put on a show.
But when you find "A TRUE FRIEND", 
believe me you will know.
