A Friend

A friend in need, is a friend indeed,
As per the saying goes,
Everyone wants to be a friend,
But not everyone can be friends.

When you are in trouble,
They will run away from you,
When you are in trouble,
They do not remember you.

A friend in need is a friend indeed,
It is through this time,
The true colours can be clearly seen,
Whatever shade clearly shown.

A true friend is someone who stands by you,
A true friend is someone who will guide you,
They will not abandon you,
They will not foresake you.

A true friend will understand you,
A true friend will not laugh at you,
They will laugh together with you,
They will cherish you.

Be a good friend to everyone,
Be it your enemy or even a stranger,
For it pays not to destroy someone,
It does not pay to be a back stabber.

Friendship travels through many years,
Right from your childhood days till your graying days,
For if you have become a good friend,
This friend will remember you till old.

Let bygones be bygones,
If you have made a mistake,
Apologise and admit your mistake,
Its not wrong but it improves.

So start your day by being a friend,
And may this world be a better world,
For the generations to come,
For them to cherish the good value.

So be a friend and may you be a friend indeed.
