Pass This Way

While winking when you pass this way Consider the vast great expanse of time You seem to hardly ever stay So much good we might try to find There's truly much more to say Towards many you do act so kind It is clear in the light of day If you could stop and not decline But then you always turn away Are you really a friend of mine

You have masterfully expressed your question of the last line perfectly in couplets - quandary in words and form. I think we all have friends like this who profess friendship but speak a different message with their actions. Congratulations on your win! High fives and kudos!

Sam, it's these little bits of nuance that shroud our everyday lives. Your diligent, right minded, actions shine the light of true friendship. Thank you.
