Ode to Friendship

This is my ode
To the friends
That have showed
All the care in the world
As they've carried the load
Through the trials
I’ve faced
Through that rocky place
When each step ahead
Seemed too hard to bear
And the strength I had left
Was continually spent
And the little I could give
Was met with assurance
That I’d done my part
In returning the heart
Though it seemed so small
Yet felt like my all
And you knew if I could
You’d receive so much more
Which I know you deserve
And that’s why now I serve
This ode that is due
This ode is for YOU
