Watching in the shadow, in case I fall

Waiting quietly for me to call

Comes running when I do

Always there to lend a hand

A guide but never a crutch

Laughing at me with a shaking head

When I try to get away with too much

Caring, kind, trusting

A true friend

Never bossy

Always supportive

Quick to defend

Right to the point if answers are to be addressed

Keeping me on my toes

I can share any secret or thought without feeling dumb

Never leaving me in a bad mood

For we always have fun
