THE PERFECT FRIEND© Shannen Wrass
Today I found a friendwho knew everything I felt
she knew my weaknessand the problems I've been dealt.
She understood my wondersand listened to my dreams,
she listened to how I felt about life and loveand knew what it all means.
Not once did she interrupt meor tell me I was wrong
she understood what I was going throughand promised she'd stay long.
I reached out to this friend,to show her that I care
to pull her close and let her knowhow much I need her there.
I went to hold her handto pull her a bit nearer
and I realized this perfect friend I foundwas nothing but a mirror.
