Words for the Journey

 The True Heart of a Friend  Friends come in many shapes and coloursFriends have been existent since time beganEvery culture knows the universal word "friend"Nothing can "Change the World" like a friend can  When you think of a friend, you think "Soul Mate" You envision someone worthy of trust Someone who you have confided inTo have someone you can Always count on – is a must  A true friend will have very "broad shoulders"They will fill your life with much pleasureThey will make you want even more for yourselfTheir steadfast conviction can truly be measured  A friend will support and encourage youThey will walk with you every mileThey will stand by you in all of your failingsThey will light up your face with their smile  A friend is a shaunch believerOf what is right and wrongThey couldn't be any closer than familyThey have been on your journey all along  A true friend will ingeniously challenge youThey will rock you to your coreThey will command your "every" emotionThey will leave you wanting to come back for more  In a victory or in a crisisWith their listening skills finely attunedYour friend will leap into actionTheir willingness is always assumed  A friend will not be afraid to speak "candidly"When your life choices leave a lot to be desiredThey will save you from your brink of destructionYour will to go on will be re-inspired

A friend exudes Hope and PatienceThey will stand up for you in your fightThey will force you to see the true self within youThey will take up your cause for what is right  In the Greek definition - a friend "stands for Love"A methodical centuries old verityThe truths are astounding as to the word "friend"The literal meaning to ”Love” similarity  A friend is always regarded with HonourThey have earned your highest RespectBut if you try to honour and compliment themThey will surely try to object   A friends heart is always openIt is always in plain sight it seemsThe agenda of a friend is unfalteringA friend knows all your hopes and your dreams  A friend will lift up your spiritsA friend compliments you with their loveA friend can be described as an “Angel”Someone truly sent from Heaven above  A friend is ever ready to listenAs you ramble and try to explainAll your justifications and heartachesYour dignity - they slowly try to regain   A friend will share their attitudeAbout many important thingsBut they always have your best interest at heartWith all the diverse solutions that they bring   They become your beacon and guide youTowards what’s really important and trueYour love for them blossoms and flowersKnowing each day gives you a true friend anew

A friends dwelling is in your spiritAnd when you reach into your heartYou can always find your inamoratoEven though you may be miles apart
 In order for you to have succeededIn having in a real true friendIt has to be reciprocalThe circle of True friendship repeats itself to the end  Next time you see friends togetherJust think of a friend who's been lostAnd go and Hug your New FriendAnd tell them that "you love them" - at any cost  A friend is your loyal advocateThey will stick by you to the endA friend will wait in tears by your bedsideAt the end of your life - I will remain a friend  For my friends,written by:  Kimberly Willison2005
