My Best Friend

My best friend
is what you are.
You are both near
as well as far.
You stand up
while others sit.
You won't put up
with any of it.
You do your job
consistently
with no complaint
or arguing.
You are present
in each room
in which we need
all business done.
We could do
without you
but the lack of ease
would not do.
I am thankful
every time
you are caught
by these eyes of mine.
You will remain
my favorite always
as you have been
in all previous days.
