Best Friends Poem

Best Friends Poem
By Roy Croft

I love you not only for what
you are, but for what I am
when I am with you.

I love you not only for what
you have made of yourself,
but for what you are making
of me.

I love you because you have
done more than any creed
could have done to make me
good, and more than any
fate could have done to make
me happy.

You have done it without a
touch, without a word,
without a sign.

You have done it by being yourself.
Perhaps that is what being a friend means,
after all.

"Stay" is a charming word
in a friend's vocabulary."
Amos Bronson Alcott
