often, we have people who are always there

though we know many who aren't

yet in times of despair

guess who's there?

this may be bad?

but it may be good?

extracted from a saying elsewhere "in sickness and in health"

some can love us from a distance

but in times of need appear, in spite of time, energy and poor wealth

though we may not otherwise see them all year

at least we know that in sickness, they were there
