A Friend Indeed!!

I had a friend- a friend in deed,
I met him in a far-off country,
When I went there to work,
On a stint,
Since I didn't own a vehicle,
He was there to help me,
When and where I needed,
Like the hand that
Holds the dress falling off,
A friend comes to help,
Without my  asking for it,
We meet at week ends,
To share a meal,
The duty of a friend,
Is to relieve  the pains of his mate,
A friend in need,
Is a friend indeed.
