    YOUR BODY AND MY SOUL

    WHEN YOU NEED A ARM TO LEAN ON,
    I HOPE IT WILL BE MINE.
    WHEN YOU NEED A SHOULDER TO CRY ON,
    I BELIEVE MINE WILL DO JUST FINE.

    WHEN YOU HAVE A IDEA TO BOUNCE OFF SOMEONE
    I HOPE IT'S ME WHO GETS THE BOUNCE.
    WHEN YOU WANT TO POUR OUT YOUR SOUL,
    I AM AVAILABLE TO TAKE EVERY OUNCE.

    WHEN YOU NEED SOMEONE TO BACK YOU UP.
    BACK YOUR SELF RIGHT INTO ME.
    WHEN YOU NEED TO PAY YOUR DUES,
    MY MEMBERSHIP IS ALWAYS FREE.

    WHEN YOU CAN'T QUITE PUT YOUR FINGER ON SOMETHING,
    LET YOUR FINGERS DO THE WALKING ON ME.
    WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO FIND YOURSELF,
    LET ME BE YOUR TOUR GUIDE TO HELP YOU SEE.

    WHEN YOUR HEART'S NOT IN THE RIGHT PLACE,
    ALLOW ME TO HELP MANIPULATE.
    WHEN YOU NEED TO SOW YOUR WILD OATS,
    LET ME SEPERATE THE WHEAT FROM THE JAILBATE.

    WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE A LEG TO STAND ON,
    I PROMISE TO BEAR ALL YOUR WEIGHT.
    IF YOU EVER PUT YOUR FOOT IN YOUR MOUTH,
    I'LL HELP YOU CLEAN YOUR PLATE.

    I YOU DON'T THINK YOU HAVE THE GUTS TO MAKE IT THROUGH.
    I HAVE ENOUGH STOMACH FOR MYSELF AND FOR YOU.
    IF YOU DON'T HAVE A GREEN THUMB TO HELP THINGS GROW.
    I'LL BE THERE TOMORROW DRIVING  A BACKHOE.

    WHEN YOU NEED SOMEONE TO STAND UP AND GIVE YOU A HAND,
    I'LL BE THERE WITH A STANDING OVATION AND A FIVE PIECE BAND.
    IF YOU EVER NEED A FRIEND TO STAND BESIDE YOU JUST TO SAVE FACE,
    I'LL TESTIFY TO THE POWER OF YOUR GOODNESS AND AMAZING GRACE.

    FROM THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD TO THE BOTTOM OF YOUR FEET,
    TOGETHER WE GRAB VICTORY FROM THE JAWS OF DEFEAT
    CONSISTENT, GENUINE, NO FUSS, NO MUSS.
    FATE CHOSE ME AS YOUR FRIEND, TOGETHER WE CHOSE US.

    this is exactly everything i lost lately in a friend, I miss the support and friendship your words are beautiful

    I have always felt that a friendship occurs almost by accident. It is someone who connects with your soul. The best friend you can can is your inner voice, and I believe yours is strong.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
