I'll be your friend most of all.

I wrote this for one of my best friends. It's the first time I've ever written a poem about a friend that was positive. In the past all my poems for friends came from a very negative place, usually after being hurt by them.

I’ll be love, I will defend,
I’ll be a shield, I’ll be your friend,

I’ll be a soldier, right at your side,
I’ll be an army, in which to hide.

I’ll be a hand, to take yours,
I’ll be an arm, to pull you from the floor.

I’ll be words, to help you stand and walk,
I’ll be ears, when you need to talk.

I’ll be a shoulder, when you need to cry,
A strong embrace, on which you can rely.

I’ll be on your side, even when I’m right,
I’ll love you still, if we ever fight.

I’ll be used, to help you through,
I don’t mind, if it’s by you.

I’ll be all of this and more,
But I’ll be your friend,
most of all.
