Friend

People come into your life over time How long they stay is unknown Whether lasting or fleeting A person makes their mark A friend or a foe As a constant or as a variable Touching moments of your journey People will impact your life over time If you let them in or they break down your barriers A person will show you their worth An ally or a combatant As a helper or a deterrent Steering your path or rerouting your plan Those you trust become a part of your journey Those you keep become known as a friend The same is true for you, as you enter the lives of those around you. How will you impact those lives? Will you help or hinder? Will you inspire or distract? Are you the foe or the friend? Could you be the person they need in life? Will you become the friend? Will you be just a person who passed through their life? Only time can tell, not even you know yet.
