Friends

One of the great things about coming back to Perth is seeing old friends. Particularly the really long-standing close friends that never seem all that far away, even when you're galavanting around the world like I have been of late. That's not to say that you keep in touch really frequently, but more that you know that they're only ever a call, text, e-mail, Skype message, Facebook chat away, whenever either of you have the time, or just need a good friend to talk to.

I'm lucky to have some really great friends. They give me so much support and add so many good times and laughter to my life. Thank-you so much to all my friends reading! But also to any that may not be. It's time I paid tribute to you.

Here goes;


Friends


Good times shared over many years
Sometimes laughs and sometimes tears
But the greatest truth which I can say
Is when you need them they're not far away

They never note who contacted last
And no matter how much time has past
It always seems like yesterday
You chatted endless hours away

They know the things that few could know
The secrets shared when times were low
That you were scared to share but knew
Deep down, they would not think less of you

You've watched each other's lives progress
Always there to bring some happiness
And help you find the answers to
The questions now confounding you

They know the many facets you possess
All the good, the bad, the strange and the rest
And accept you exactly as you are
For they know that the real you is best by far

And this is what it all comes down to
That when you're with a friend you're completely you
So just relax and enjoy a drink at the bar
And hope the next time won't be far
