What Friends do

When the world walks out,

I'll walk in.

 

When they tell you you'll lose,

I'll tell you you'll win.

 

When they tell you to stop,

I'll tell you to go.

 

When they say you're too small,

I'll say that you'll grow.

 

When they tell you you can't,

I'll tell you to try.

 

When they weigh you down, 

I'll help you to fly.

 

Whatever they say

To try and hurt you,

 

I'll always be there,

That's what friends do.

Hey there! I don't know if you are still active here. I just want to tell you that this poem is still one of my favorites from you. Have you thought of publishing it in a greeting card or magazine?

I think you should try submitting this one.

That sounds so much like my best friend! She is my best motivater, and I wouldn't have done half the stuff I've done without her to encourage me along. I loved it!
