Chicken Soup - Naming a Best Friend

"In prosperity your friends know you,
in adversity you know your friends." -Confucius

Where is the peril?
When is the pain?
Why is the sorrow?
What is the gain?
Being bitter?
Salty rain?

Peril's inside,
pain comes along,
tragic the flame,
lessons to gain.
Being bitter, to getting better.
Salty rain, and raising rainbows.
But,
you will need a warm shoulder.
For that
I am here,
and here I'll stay.
To watch your every tear,
to cross then to fade.
I am the chicken soup,
to your cold.
Search for me,
you know who I am.
I've always been there,
in the good and bad times.
You know my name?
I am called your best friend.
