Friends
There are two types of friends.
One is the acquaintance, the
person you just say hello to on
the street.
The person you discuss war, politics,
and drugs with in passing.
The other is the close true friend.
The person with whom you share
experiences, such as joy, sorrow,
likes and dislikes.
The person who’s there when you
need him.
There is one sure way to tell
acquaintances from true friends.
That is when you have a real
problem your true friends come
around and help.
Everyone is your friend when
everything is rosy.
