(Poem 105 for 2024 – I am writing a poem a day)

It helps to have someone
by your side during the
tough times and the good,
to view the sunsets and
take shelter from the storms,
climb the mountains and
swim across the rivers,
have your back in a pinch,
listen to your stories again, 
scratch the spots on your
back that you can’t reach,
and give you a shoulder to
lean on when you are weak,
and the nice thing about
having a friend, is that
as much as they help you,
you do the same for them.
