There Are People Who Help

There are people who help
When you need it most,
When the chips are down
And you’re almost toast.

Who remind you that rest
And a cup of tea,
Are as vital as work
For the best you can be.

They remind you of just
How far you have come,
And make you feel proud
Of all that you’ve done.

They cheer when you win,
No matter how small,
And whenever you fail
They’re the ones who you call.

A shoulder to cry on
Or a hand to hold,
You’d do the same for them
Without being told.

You tell them your stories
And they make you laugh,
Though the jokes that they tell
Are really quite naff.

They love all that you are,
No need to pretend,
For these are the people
Who you can call friends.
