Because you are my friend I will
do
for you all that my heart and my
soul and
body are capable of doing.
I will cry with you and share your
burdens
when you are down.
I will laugh with you and rejoice
with you
when you have achieved.
I will be there when you want my
company and
I will be gone when you do not.
But do not expect perfection from
me,
for the day shall come when I let
you down and you will be hurt.
And when I let you down, it will
not be
because I desire to hurt you, nor
because
I do not still love you. It will
only be
because I am human and that is
one frailty
from which no one can escape.
