Be A True Friend Poem by Amelia Evelyn White

True friends are hard to find
When one comes along, cherish the moment
Cease the opportunity; bestow a virtue or two.

Bear fruit of kindness
Show patience and understanding too.

Remember their birthday, and their favorite things
There will come a time your're have to bring them to mind.

Be conscious of what annoys them
And what makes them happy most
Always be complimentary and
Not of your own things boast.

Never take them for granted
Be considerate of their feelings
Never ever dwell on their faults
Be always ready to forgive and
Differences to reconcile.

Then remember who you are and
From whence you came
Be a friend to yourself
The results will be the same.
