Pals

Do you know the meaning of the word “pals”?
Not the actual definition,
but what being a true friend really is.

It means aiding each other through thick and thin,
even if you may not agree with their actions.
But you must give support on all issues.
And when it tumbles down,
you are there to help pick up pieces.
Occasionally argue over stupid things.
Get complete wasted on a whim.
Do the “this stays here” type of adventures.
But it’s all part of the unspoken bond.

A pal is there to listen to your problems
And give you their messed up advice
that ultimately helps out in no way at all.
There are few people that know you as well as close buddies.
Over the course of time there seems to be a revolving door
of those people we consider our best friends.
But the criterion remains the same.
They do for you as you do for them.

This is what it truly means to be called pals.
