My Only Friend

You, I will always defend Until the bitter end, Upon me you can always depend You are my only true friend. I had thought I had a friend before Whom I had loved to the very core, Them I truly did adore Now they are a friend no more. I still speak for them in a prayer For them I was always there, But, now I must be cautious and beware For them I once did truly care. I once had a friend I had thought Now they are not, I was the one who had gave and bought Their friendship I had sought. I had a friend who was also my mate To help I never did hesitate, They were my pal for whom I would wait Because of them, I did celebrate. As I now look into my mirror As I now wipe away another tear, I again say this as a whisper to the ear You are the only trusted friend that I have here. Randy L. McClave
