A Friend - Edgar Albert Guest

A Friend by Edgar Albert GuestA friend is one who stands to shareYour every touch of grief and care.He comes by chance, but stays by choice;Your praises he is quick to voice. No grievous fault or passing whimCan make an enemy of him.And though your need be great or small,His strength is yours throughout it all. No matter where your path may turnYour welfare is his chief concern.No matter what your dream may beHe prays your triumph soon to see. There is no wish your tongue can tellBut what it is your friend's as well.The life of him who has a friendIs double-guarded to the end.Support the showPoems are green and Poetry is mean. -Poetry Beast Please accept my endless gratitude,I'm tickled pink,You're a gift!Thank you for your time and attention.It's a blessing you've stopped to observe and listen.ADDITIONAL INFO: @thebaldheadedpoet | Linktree
