True Eyes

I have many friends
But only a few are true
I have friends that I only say hi and bye to

I have friends that only come around
When they need answers or advice
And although these aren’t true friends
They play a big part on teaching me
About life

On the other hand,
I have true friends
Who encourage and support me
Sure we have our differences
But only true relationships withstand obstacles

They compliment me on a good job
And they send my spirit to the skies with their constant,
loyal friendship
And sometimes I just wonder
Why

Why God only put a few good friends
On Earth
For me to grow up with
I think I may have the answer
But I’m unsure
Because many things in life hold little security

But maybe true friends are gifts
Wrapped under a big Christmas tree
That is disguised in a scholastic setting
It’s our job to constantly unwrap each gift
To hunt for the ones
That bring joy and happiness
And to learn from those
That resemble the world
