Rarer Than Hens Teeth

A true friend they say, is rarer than hens’ teeth. Have you ever seen a hen’s beak from underneath? When the new chick pecks out of its womb like egg, It uses its egg tooth and not its little leg. The egg tooth drops after a day or two Of fair-weather friends you will find this is true The first sign of a problem they disappear with great speed But usually when they need you, they want you to take heed A true friend is there, they need no explanation, A phone call or letter they are there at their station. Their station of friendship and help without question or fear, A true friend can be close without even being near. A long time can pass with out proper contact, But that doesn’t mean the friendship is not intact. A true friend is rarer than hens’ teeth they say, We thank those that are there for our friendship today. No reward no motives, just to be there. What greater blessings can we as humans share? To be strong for each other in times that are bad To help and to support, when times are sad. True friends are not as rare as people may say I have true friends I am happy to say. My only hope is if thing get reversed I can be a true friend without the need to rehearse. The role of a friend, not fair-weather but true. What more would be nicer if it was thought of you?
