Edgar Guest - A Friend
Work rating: Medium

A friend is one who stands to share 
Your 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 whim 
Can 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 turn
Your welfare is his chief concern. 
No matter what your dream may be 
He prays your triumph soon to see.

There is no wish your tongue can tell 
But what it is your friend`s as well. 
The life of him who has a friend 
Is double-guarded to the end.
