~ My Friend, To The End ~

 My dearest friend,
You left me a note,
Saying that today
You just couldn't cope.
 
It makes me so sad
To see you so down,
I'll be here to help you
Get rid of that frown.

Thank you so much,
You're really kind,
I'd feel so sad,
If left behind.

But friendship like ours
Can conquer all,
When we feel low,
We just make a call.

  Yes, friendship like ours
  Is often quite rare,
 Always here for each other,
 We make quite a pair. 

 To often friends
Just abandon each other,
When the road gets to rough,
They just don’t want to bother.

 But friends are important,
You can't turn away,
You never can tell
If you'll need them someday.

To me, my dear loved one,
You're more than a friend,
I know you'll be always
My friend  ~  to the end.
