Who Is A Friend? Poem by Martin Greyford

Who is a friend?

Is it the one who only helps you when you have problems?
Is it the person that remembers you when he's drunk and when sober you are not friends?

Who is a friend anyway?

Are they the ones that comes to you when they
Don't have anything but the moment they
Have something they disappear into thin air?

I'm wondering if all the mentioned people are even friends!

They are seasonal friends, appearing once in a while.
Think of you when in distress.

But who is a friend?

A friend is a person that sticks more closer
Than a brother in one's life.
They are there always in all seasons
Whether you have something or not.
They cheer you up every time.

Help you stand when you have fallen
And share with you their intimate secrets
For no matter what truly know
You are the best thing that has ever happened to them.
