Where Friendship Should Begin Poem by William Ryan

Not at all impressed by a picture show

Or by who it is that you may know

Nor does it matter what others may say

Your words and actions are what pave the way

Once we meet is where it will all start

Friendship comes from the heart

If your actions and words don't ring true

Then will anyone waste their time with you

Believe ones looks can't always hide

What for them is truly deep inside

Because for only so long can one be fake

Before their real self comes out by mistake

So be yourself and hope for the best

Pick your friends wisely and walk away from the rest

Find who and what makes you complete

Believe it or not it will all fall at your feet

So if your interested in the picture show

And think that by looks is the way to go

Your going to miss out on people that are really great

Because of the way you think people should rate

All you need to do is open up that book

Forget the cover and take a look

You may be shocked or even surprised

At what could have escaped your own eyes

Because the beauty is always from deep with in

And that is where the best of friends always begin!
