A person will cause a ripple in time,
A blessing or a stain; that decision is not mine.
They come and they go, but a blessing will stay,
They will sit down, hold your hand and with you, they will pray.
They will cause you little grief,
Their presence will not be brief.
Cheer for you they will,
If intentions are not ill.
Some will try to cheat you and abuse,
They will act like a comrade but simply just use.
Fear not because you will learn who they are,
Hopefully, a true pal will never be far.
Let me tell you what type of friend I would rather,
The thoughtful kind, who show me I matter.
Kindness, compassion, forgiveness and empathy;
Patience, respect, acceptance and loyalty.
The world around can be dripping with hate,
I pray for a friend that I can relate.
One with honesty, consideration and gratitude,
A friend that is not purposely rude.
In return I will be all of these things,
And with hope, I can’t wait to see what our future brings!
