    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?

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
