Perfect Friendship

You stood by me
when I was afraid or sad
helped me up when I was down
and always kept me from getting mad,

You showed me the bright
instead of the dark
you took my hand
and gave me journeys to embark,

You never lied
and always smiled
never forgetting
from parent hood to child,

Secrets kept
and never lost
you taught me how
there is no cost,

To the perfect friendship
our award will be
and without you
I just couldn't see,

Eye to eye
you never lied
face to face
there was nothing to hide,

But now your gone
without you I am
I just sit here all day
looking at life as one big scam,

But I remember
you told me to live
as if you were there
the friendship I just couldn't give,

I couldn't ask for anything more
but to be with you again
as we once were
the friendship waiting to begin.
