PORTRAIT OF A FRIEND

When things don't come out right, he comes right in. When none of your dreams come true, he is. He never gets in your way except to clear it for you. Nothing is more important to him than making you important. He is in your corner when you're cornered. He turns up when you get turned down. All he wants in return for his helping hand is your love. He raps your critics when they're wrong and takes the rap for you when they're right. You can do anything you want to with his love except buy it or sell it. He makes you realize that having a real friend is like having an extra life. ANONYMOUS
