FRIEND

when i needed someone
you were always there
-now that the situation
is reversed
i am there for you.
when my legs grew weary
of trying
you were there to carry me.
-now that your road has become rocky
your days as dark as night
i will be there for you
to guide the way.
you have been a true friend
-when no one else cared
you stood by me
when all others ran away.
what can i do for you
-you have done so much for me.
so let the winding path take us
along life's journey
let the bitter winds blow where they may.
we have nothing to fear
old friend
i am there for you
to lead the way.
