A FrienD

FRIEND

A friend is

Special for you

And not against you;

Being a friend is in

One’s state of mind,

One’s state of action—

That special one who thinks and acts

For another’s happiness,

For another’s welfare;

Being a friend is giving of self

With joy;

Being a friend is receiving from another

With appreciation;

Being a friend is wanting to be a friend.
