BE A FRIEND


  I only ask, that you listen when I speak,


  In return, I will give you both ears kindly.


  Be there when I am in pain, and need a 
  Shoulder,

  I'll be there to catch you, if in time you do fall.


  Please do not stab me in the back, no talking 
  about me,

  For you, I will speak directly to you, also if i'm 
  Angry.

  Understand, that there is in me, no perfect piece 
  You'll see,

  I know you are a person with human flaws, that's 
  Quite okay,

  Be a friend to me, and a friendship we will share, 
  I do care.

                        Keith Garrett
