Who's Your True Friend? Poem by Noel Horlanda

Who's Your True Friend?

Rating: 4.9


A true friend isn’t really your father,
isn’t really your mother,
isn’t even your sister or brother,
not even a son or a daughter,

A true friend isn’t your cousin
isn’t even your closest kin
isn’t even your lover
You can’t even trust your liver

A true friend is one who delivers,
is always a forgiver,
and is a joy giver,

A true friend is one who cares,
is one who bares,
and is one who shares,

A true friend is compassionate,
is loving and passionate
is also a consoler,
and a diligent comforter

A true friend is an advisor,
is a perpetual savior,
is a compromiser, merciful
and most of all is a defender, faithful

Last but not the least…
The Almighty One, the high priest
Has the advocacy
Do you agree?
