A FRIEND IN WAYS ABOUT

I met a friend
not such a common trend
the many times I have 
turned a bend

He knew me
So he said
Told me I needed
not worry
About where I had been

An interest so keen
Never before had I found
In a stranger who
said he'd been 
there all the time

He hugged me
and wrapped his arms
around me
Promised never to leave me

I met a friend
and this I know because
He lives in me.
