Friends

Friends are hard to find so be careful Friends are like the wind They blow to you when your days are good Friends are like the storm They pour sorrows to your heart When your days are bad True friends remain forever Like a Redwood in the forest That is a true friend And I must be honest Some Friends like you because you have something to offer Some friends like you because you are like no other Very few friends like you when you suffer A true friend likes you on a summer or rainy day He welcomes to his home and wishes that you stay The world will dance to your tune When you beat the drums of success The world will run away When you stop to make progress A true friend will stay With you in your time of need And he gives his last drop of blood Rather to see you bleed A true friend will cloth you and give you something to feed A roof over your head If that be the case It does not matter what is his tribe or race The world is a market place where every one comes out to sell his ware Survival is the yard stick so very few really care Friends are hard to find so be careful A chameleon can change the color of its skin But a chameleon can not change where it has been A dog is loyal to his master till death But bad friend only thinks of what he could get Jealousy and envy Fills his heart like a poisonous venom When I was poor he hated me Now that I am rich he hated me more Away I say Don't want to be your friend no more
