Who is my friend?

One I don't have to beg for aid
Who sticks with me till I'm made
One who takes interest in my efforts
And understands my worth
Who knows that my down time doesn't define me
Who in times of low enjoy my company

My friend will not willfully betray my trust
And will surely hear me out first
It is someone who will understand a mistake
And when everyone is gone will not forsake
And never forgetting that friend will share
Hold all my victories and burdens near

Will hold to truth in terrible pain
Is blunt, straightforward and very plain
There aren't many who can be true
But honesty a friend will do
They're far and few down to the end
Hold fast, be happy for your friend
