My friend and I did quarrel and a punch up did take place <br />And when I asked him for his forgiveness a smile lit up his face <br />We shook hands and we made up that's what friendship is about <br />Your friend he will forgive you though you punch him in the mouth. <br /> <br />My acquaintance he did punch me though him I do forgive <br />he is somewhat less of an acquaintance now and without him I can live <br />Had he been my friend in the first place as my friend he would remain <br />But with him I'd feel more happy if we never meet again. <br /> <br />True friendship survives quarrels the bond of friendship strong <br />And though your friend will quarrel with you he will never do you wrong <br />I've seen friends have heated quarrels and their quarrels turned to blows <br />But they quickly shook hands after true friends never become foes. <br /> <br />My friend and I had a heated argument that ended in a brawl <br />but the swollen eye he gave me did not bother me at all <br />And when I asked for his forgiveness a smile lit up his face <br />And all was quickly forgotten when we did shake hands and embrace.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/true-friendship-the-test-of/
