Standing by,

　　All the way.

　　Here to help you through your day.

　　Holding you up,

　　When you are weak,

　　Helping you find what it is you seek.

　　Catching your tears,

　　When you cry.

　　Pulling you through when the tide is high.

　　Absorbing your voice,

　　When you talk.

　　Standing by when you learn to walk.

　　Just being there,

　　Through thick and thin,

　　All just to say, you are my friend.

　　—Brittani Kokko
