The Friend

A phrase that stands for much.

Have pride In what you do,
In meaning, that what you have you've earned;
and that you've tried your best,
And when you sleep, matters not whether you're free
Or what your task may be,
One duty there remains for him:
One duty stands for me.
Be you a soldier skilled and wise,
A laborer upon the street,
An artist on the stage,
A Sailor on the sea,
All glory still awaits for you,
One honor that is fair,
Here's a phrase that stands for much,
A friend who stands there,
It means that men have confidence, when sleeping at night
untroubled he may rest.
As your friend stands next to you,
Will shelter his one friend
the one that he knows best.

GW.
