Friendship

It is a common belief 
That man being a social animal
Life must be spent in company of others
Only few of us like solitude

Because socialization is inborn.
Hence the role of friendship
A friend is not only supportive
But the very basis  of life

Inculcating the sentiment of proximity
Friendship prevents from being egocentric
Be it good or bad times
A true friend is always present

A friend in need is a friend indeed
Beyond all circumstances
Ever ready to offer a helping hand
Friendship is not merely for benefits

Be also prepared to assist  in difficult times
Be slow in choosing a friend
And slower in changing one
Friendship is a way of life

Revolving throughout our existence
Be a sincere friend for a better life
If you want a friend 
Be a friend.
