Analysis of Friendship Is A Precious Gift (Poem No. 524)
Friendship is a precious Gift
From heaven above.
If you have found this jewel,
Don't take it for granted for it is so rare.
Once we have it and lost it,
More likely, we will regret it.
Never break the tie of trust;
For when it is broken it's hard to mend it back.
Be truthful tho' the consequences is tough.
Tell the truth tho it might break someone's heart.
Truth warrants respect, lies break the friendship;
And cause bitter tears to wail on someone's face.
Do not exchange one quality friend
to thousand in numbers...
An understanding friend, trust worthy,
faithful, and sincere;
Is worth much more than gold and silver.
