They Are...

They Are...

They're the voice on the other line
When you really need to talk
The shadow close by your side
On life's neverending walk

The friendly smile when you have none
And bitterness is inside
The one who knows you're crying
Though tears have already dried

The laugh that comes before the joke
Is even at it's end
The mind who's so in tune with yours
You simply can't pretend

The hug that embraces you when
Life just happened to get worse
The Get Well card beside your bed
That arrived as first

The belief in you to keep going
Knowing you're stronger than you feel
And in this world of lies and hurt
They're the one who stayed real

Yes, they are the companion
The one on whom you can count
Your friend, your heart, your soul,
You can never live without.
