A Friend Is

A friend is a heart full of love

A warm place to go

A supportive hug

A non-judgemental soul

A happy-to-see-you smile

When you drop in

To visit for awhile

A friend is accepting

Of flaws and fears

Lending their wisdom and their ears

Always listening with concern

 And drying our tears

When we’re tired and hurt

A friend is you

It’s who you are

So warm, so caring,

With a giving heart

And I’m so glad,

More than I can say

To have you as a friend

Everyday.

This poem is about best friends that go through everything together help each other no matter what. This poem was written by Mobi World and had 3 stanzas & 21 lines. I think the message behind this is that your best friend is the one person your so comfortable with you can talk about anything, you are constantly talking to them and they will never do anything to hurt you. It contains metaphors, hyperboles, and rhyme scheme. An example of a rhyme scheme from the poem is “A friend is accepting, Of flaws and fears, Lending their wisdom and their ears, Always listening with concern, And drying our tears, When we’re tired and hurt”. This is stanza 2 and the rhyming words are “fears, ears, & tears”. These are all describing how a friend/best friend should be.
