Free Cee a Friend Around the Bend

A FRIEND AROUND THE BEND

One never knows what lies beyond the bend
for instance one day you can find a new friend
you'll laugh all day and talk all night
and find that person an utter delight

days and months will go by in joyous union
and you two could be like a holy communion
you'll do for them and they'll do for you
and you'll swear friends like them are rare and too few

rare they may be, as rare as can be
and they'll hurl platitudes at you for no cost or no fee
they'll swear their allegiance and to always be there
and they'll stay by your side to hide you from fear

you never know when a new friend will come along
and you'll swear by their side is where you belong
they'll give you everything you think is due you
until you discover their real agenda is somehow to screw you

This a great right through I love it but it is unfortunately true in some regards, it has happened to me more than once, but if I can be a friend I will that's all I can say xx
