Who's a True Friend and Who's Not

Finding a true friend is rare
There are fake ones everywhere
Smiling and being nice
Be careful and think twice
About their actions and the way
They make you feel everyday
A true friend will never try
To cover up a blatant lie
That can deceive and become
Harmful in more ways than one
Or never be there when your down
Even though you are around
Everyone they need a hand
Or someone to understand
A clearer look will help you see
Which one is like family
Being there both night and day
Making sure you are O.K.
While having fun and acting weird
In your head your never scared
They will leave or let you down
A best friend is who you’ve found
Now and forever they’ll be there
Good memories you’ll always share

True friends are rare, Robin. The only way to have a true friend is to be a true friend. Great relationships sweeten with time. Your words are very true and I enjoyed reading your poem....Robert.
