Friendship

Friendship

By Elton Camp

A true friend is extremely hard to find
For most, not a single one comes to mind

Whatever comes, true friends are there
Not obligation, but because they care

Treachery to friends hasn’t occurred
So you don’t have to guard each word

Confidences real friends don’t betray
And so never repeat things you say

Friends will always put up a fight 
To one who casts you in a bad light

Friends will tell you what is truly best
Not just uncaringly agree like the rest

But even when you make some mistake
They will still care for your own sake

Many acquaintances most of us can name
But not many true friends & that’s a shame
