A true friend is someone who is always there,
Through good times and bad in equal share,
Someone not too scared to give you that slap,
When it's evident to all you're behaving like a twat,
And despite sometimes consuming them with such frustrating despair,
They'll never leave your side because truly they care,
Fair weather mates are available in abundance,
And in hard times are notable by their absence,
If you have a true friend please recite them this poem,
To let them know how much you appreciate and love them.
