Friends

I awoke one day Awakened to the spirit Always lending a helping hand Ready to listen I learned through the fires of life The importance of friendship It’s not who befriends you the first that matters one iota For it’s the friend who remains, when all others have fled

I agree with you. Some people only pretend to be your friends, but only few will be. Have a great day... Lucilla
