To have a lifetime friend is rare these day and any one who has such a friend is fortunate indeed. I don't know where we would be without those friends.
Very nicely done.

Blessings
Janet

This sounds like an autobiographical piece. The first stanza sets the scene. There are so many perils lying in wait for the growing boy. It really is surprising more don't fall one way or another. When I was young the drugs thing was not an issue and somehow I learnt to control the booze demon. I was destined to fall on the female hook. Poor stupid fish that I was.

whatever the trap a friend in need is definitely what is required at at a time like this. The poem makes your point well.

    Thank you for an excellent review and I reckon the female hook is not as sharp as the rest****kahpot

But you claim here, in this very poem, that it is not enough for you just to call her "friend", kahpot.
You want much more than that.
I'm sorry, but in my book, if she is already involved and in love with someone else, the best thing you can do for her as well as yourself is to keep your distance and walk the other way...fast!
You want her to be happy, don't you?
You wouldn't want to do anything to cause her pain, right?

Walk away, while you still can...

    Hello Dean, whatever you do, please do not be sorry to me, however in this case you are a little off track ( though clever) my friend is a she, she is the mother of my two God children and was and always will be my friend ONLY, I probably did cause her some grief but never pain, only respect and love for the person that she is Cheers my Freind ****kahpot

You've written a lovely tribute to a wonderful friend. I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let's face it, friends make life worth living and a lot more fun.
All the best...
Bill~

'To Call You Friend' is a very good poem.
The wording is STRONG.
It rhymes. It flows.
Good artwork: The image shown is a good fit for this poem.
Thanks for sharing.

A very well-written poem. It is very rare that a friend becomes a friend and be a friend for life and someone you can always depend on whenevervyou need a friend for any reason.
