A True Friend
Poem by LeKeisha Suggs
A true friend shares in your most joyous moments
And encourages you when things get tough
While guarding your back against your opponents
And refuses to walk away when times get rough
A true friend shares in laughter for hours on end
And lends a shoulder to cry on when things fall apart
Who will tell you that your outfit is nowhere on trend
And who may be far in distance but never far in heart
A true friend warms your soul with just their presence
And stands by your side – no questions asked
Who says, “I can’t wait to share this,” in your absence
And is there to lift you up when you’re feeling downcast
A true friend accepts you for who you are
And loves you in spite of your flaws
Who’s very presence shines brighter than any star
And who supports you without a moment’s pause
A true friend should never be taken for granted
And is one to cherish and to fight for
Who makes your life feel enchanted
For in this life, a true friend is a rare gift to score
To find a true friend is a rare gift, indeed. It isn’t a matter of how long you have known someone or how near or far they are. What matters is the value and enrichment the person brings to your life and your heart. Does that person lift you up? Are you happier when you leave their presence? If yes, then treasure that friendship and put in the work to not let it die or fade away.
I dedicate this poem to my closest friends – you are the family I have chosen. Thank you for inspiring me every day!!
