True friend offer gum <br />not cigarettes. <br /> <br />True friend offer soda <br />not booz. <br /> <br />True friend offer food <br />not drugs. <br /> <br />True friend helps you <br />turn the other cheek. <br /> <br />True friend helps you walk <br />away, not to fight. <br /> <br />True friend offers helping <br />hand. <br /> <br />True friend gives one <br />enouragement, not resentment <br /> <br />True friend is always there.<br /><br />Shashidhar Kumar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/true-friend-17/
