For a Friend

Some friends are like stars in the sky,
They maybe near or may be far.
When the sun is bright, they might not be seen.
Yet they never leave your side.

Even on a cold, moonless night,
They are there, watching over you.
Holding your hand, and spreading warmth,
Lighting your sky, keeping your hopes up.

All I ask you, my dear friend,
Is not to lose hope, for I am there for you,
Like the stars, that watch over you,
I maybe far, but my thoughts are with you.

Like the polestar that guides,
A lost sailor on turbulent waves,
I’ll hold your hand and walk with you,
Can I have that honour, my dear friend?
