The Friend

Looking for a friend is a difficult matter,
It isn't so easy as you can say.
The Friend!
Who deserves the name better?
Who'll really share your life's way?

The man who can help you begin a new chapter?
New wonderful chapter of difficult life.
With whom you would like to have careless chatter?
Long marvelous chatter without dark stripes.

For whom you'll dwarf into fire and water,
Who'll move just for you Everest,
For whom you'll fly on the broom like Potter,
With fast wind blowing from East to West.

He wouldn't feed you with wrong applause,
He would say to you all the truth straight.
At midnight he can visit your house…
And help you to fight with the fate.

The friend isn't the man of empty promises,
But in times of distress
Hard shoulders, tight hands and shawl like prizes,
He always provides you for rest.

Your choice - free bird flying.
But you should understand;
Before starting climbing,
Think - can you be a real friend?
