How to find true friends


Pause and look around 
When the rain never seems to stop 

When your fake smile hides the deep pain in your eyes 

Look for those who can feel the vibration and quiver in your voice

For it's them, who'll understand the chronic suffering hiding in each and every teardrop

Fair weather friends are ten a penny, true friends are like gold who have your back every step of the way. Welcome to poetry soup. Tom
