Portrait of a Best Friend

Like the ink creating the words on this page,
Memories recreate the traits of my best friend.

I see you as a superhero,
Always running to my rescue,
Seeking justice when I'm done wrong,
And being there when I need you.

You're a shoulder to lean my head on
And an ear when I need to be heard,
And you always have an encouraging hug
To go along with motivating words.

You and I share the best jokes
And often share a laugh.
You help me when I struggle
And keep me on a straightened path.

You know everything about me
But never tell a soul.
You help me think I can reach the sky,
And even my highest goal.

You accept me when I make mistakes,
And even when I fail.
Our friendship is a testament
To say that love prevails.

The memories that brought to life
The people that I love
Give me strength to carry on
And hope for what's to come.
