What is a Friend? The poetry of Dave (David H.) Cottrell

what is a friend?

Someone who shares hope

knowing the truth that sometimes pains

seeing inside you feeling the aches

joys

fears

sharing laughter and tears

willing to wait till the storm’s over

what is a friend?

Someone you would call

when no one else really cares

listens when you rant on

forgives you just the same

hurts

laughs

holding onto hidden depths

sees you like yesterday for years

what is a friend?

Someone who pulls for you

unconditionally loves you always

comfortable with you even though you’re

not

perfect

comes back even though you yelled screamed

loves you always anyway

This poem was originally inspired by and
written for my friends at Adlandpro.
God bless you, my friends,
Dave
