Why Friends

They say friends should be few but good. I say friendship is better than brotherhood. We used to see them too often at school. They used to make us happy and cool. We used to play together a lot of times, And we would sing our childish rhymes. We would also stand together or fall. They were the first people to recall. We grew up to be men or women, But inside, these memories are hidden. Every time we need someone to talk to, We find them there for us and give help, too. They say a friend to all is false to all, I agree and stick to this golden rule. We can be friends to one, two or three, But more than this we can't be free. Yet we can be friendly to everyone, But not friends with everyone. Friendly is to give people a fair deal, But friends means to love and feel. To give and take as much as you can, To put them before us if we can. True friends are a real treasure, Whose value goes beyond measure. But remember to decrease their number, Or else they put you in real danger.
