Never Present, Always There

Has your idea of what makes a good friend changed as you’ve gotten older?

Never present, always there,

I say of my best friends

For even when they’re far away

I can depend on them.


In the corners of my mind,

They wander to and fro

Building and reminding me

Of good things that I know


Never present, always there

I hope I’m in their minds

With a kindness building them

And bringing them a smile


I know that if I call on them

Or to they should call on me

We’d run to render any aid

The other friend could need


I miss you friends

So dear and far

Life’s currents pulled away

But know that I remember you

I’m just a call away.
