One Friend

Begotten I was
Forsaken by all
But out of the fray did you step
One friend above all

Though we are far
And spread across this land
Our friendship will last
As if hand in hand

Where other have strayed
And turned their backs upon me
You have come 
And helped me too my feet

Many a night has passed
In converse with you
My one dear friend
Thine kind is too few
