I think it's different. I just copied it from a blog and it says its title is 'Know This, My Friend'. I also saw the title poem of the book 'Will You Be My Friend?'. Check it out: http://www.nateberends.com/blog/archives/133

and even the family you raised and loved
have no time for you,

To remind you of all the beauty and wonder you are,
To heal you with all the love I have,
To carry you, if need be wherever you must go,
Only because you are my friend
And I will never desert you...
James Kavanaugh (the same author of the poem in your 'About Me' section)
