A friend

A friend is like a flower,
A rose to be exact. 
Or maybe like a brand new gate, 
That never comes unlatched. 
A friend is like an owl, 
Both beautiful and wise. 
Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost, 
Who's spirit never dies. 
A friend is like those blades of grass, 
You can never mow, 
Standing tall and proud, 
In a perfect little row. 
A friend is like a heart that goes 
Strong until the end. 
Where would we be in this world, 
If we didn't have a friend....
