Caring Friend

We try to look for those that care
The ones that say hey my friend I'm here..
someone who does more than talk,they listen!
and shows an interest of what they hear.
The one who cares enough to ask,
the one who proves they know your heart.
It does not mean fawning over..
Merely willin to offer a shoulder,
A tissue,an ear
perhaps a fist when enemies are near.
its not that much to ask for..
not even close
it's simply a matter of keepin one close.
Of provin we're dear,
And reminding one that theres always a reason to cheer.
A friend who knows your heart and cares
Will shine a light when darkness nears.
