I wish to be that friend of yours

I wish to be that friend of yours

?I WISH TO BE?
I wish to be that friend of yours.
to whom you can turn whenever you are cross.
I wish to stand like a tree and bear all the pain,
to give you shade and to prevent you from rain.
I wish to be the wood and to be burnt into flame,
to give you light and to spread your fame.
I wish to be shoulder and to be on your side,
to prevent you from stumbling and to help you to guide.
I wish to be with you on every turn of your life,
and i hope to hear you say that you want me throughout your life.
