Friendship

Friends, 
Some have gone
some remain. 
Some are loyal
some have changed. 
Some will stay
through thick and thin. 
Some will leave you
in between. 
Always be honest 
in all you do. 
And stick by those 
who stuck by you.

Greetings John! I see things are really strange in the UK and I hope that I’ll get better. What I mean is, I hope that England became its independence and does not fall under the hands of some evil people! Oh yes, we have them here as well. I never saw this phone before and I found it very fashion.. But if one friend turned out to be a creep, there is the world of thousand whose word they will keep . Pangie

Hi Pangie I do long for the old days, the last great prime minister we had was Margaret Thatcher, things have gone down hill since her passing.

Hello John, wonderful words of wisdom. Thank you for sharing. I once wrote a quote that says; friendship is like money easily made, but hard to keep. Have a great day.
