Who's Your True Friend?

Who's Your True Friend?

A true friend isn’t really your father,

isn’t really your mother,

isn’t even your sister or brother,

not even a son or a daughter,

 

A true friend isn’t your cousin

isn’t even your closest kin

isn’t even your lover

You can’t even trust your liver

 

A true friend is one who delivers,

is always a forgiver,

and a joy giver,

 

A true friend is one who cares,

one who bares,

and one who shares,

 

A true friend is compassionate,

loving and passionate

is also a consoler,

and a diligent comforter

 

A true friend is an advisor,

a perpetual savior,

a compromiser, merciful

and most of all  a defender, faithful

 

Last but not the least…

The Almighty One, the high priest

Has the advocacy

Do you agree?

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
