An Open-Line

“I'm here for you,” I say to them

after listening to all their problems.

They shower me with love and gratitude.

They tell me that I'm a good friend.

This fuels the smile on my face

and motivates me to help them again.

I am the tree that they lounge under,

the rock that they rest upon.

I am the one they depend on

when they need to regain their energy.

“I'm here for you,” I say to them.

But who will be here for me?
