What is a friend?

What is a friend? I'll tell you.
It is a person with whom you dare to be
Yourself- your soul can go naked with him.
He seems to ask you to put on nothing.
Appreciating you for who you truthfully are.

When you are with him, you do not have to be
on your guard. You can say what you think,
so long as it is genuinely you.

He understands the contradictions in your
nature which cause others to
misjudge you. with him you breathe freely...
you can profess your little vanities, envies
and absurdities - and in opening
them up to him, they are vanished
onto the white ocean of his loyalty.

He understands. You can weep with him.
laugh with him, pray with him...
through it all, he sees, know and LOVES you.
