Good friends

Good friends listen 

to what you have to say.

Good friends hug you 

on a bad day.

When you’re feeling lonely, 

they’re there to make you better.

When you’re far away, 

they’ll send a caring letter.

When you’re having problems, 

they’ll help you clear your mind.

When you’ve lost your path, 

a way they’ll help you find.

Fragment of unpublished poem Good friends, by Emily Juett.
