Friend A friend doesn't speak to flatter you... A friend just shows you the mirror. A friend doesn't help you build yourself, A friend just prevents you from destroying yourself. A friend doesn't drop in a "Congrats" on your success, A friend lends a shoulder and ears when you are down and out. A friend doesn't sharpen your sword, A friend just shields you when you have lost the will or strength to fight. A friend doesn't exist around you always, A friend exists within your existence. A friend in need is a friend indeed...
