A Loving Friend

This sweet young friend I've grown to know

considerate and warm.

When brutal winds of adversity flow

I'll hide you from the storm

When life gets rough and every struggle

seems to be uphill.

Sick or well, I'd crawl through hell

to stand beside you still

I'll lend support and strength and love

and help you through your fears.

When you cry, I'll hold you close

and kiss away your tears

Your gentile ways, your loving touch

your impish little smile.

Don't go away I need you

here beside me for awhile

You stole my heart some time ago

before I new your pain.

I swear I'll never just stand by

and see you hurt again.
