Your Friends Are Few Poem by Francis Duggan

Worldwide for this thing known as success people do compete
And everyday for many a new challenge to meet
The praises of the wealthy and famous the masses may sing
But success as is said can be a relative thing
In a World of billions of people the poor are not rare
And many grow poorer for every new millionaire
And few wish to know of the financially down
A sad one indeed is the sad sack of the town
It is true what is said when you befriend one of helping in need
That to this person you are a true friend indeed
When you are down and all others have forsaken you
Your true friend to you does remain ever true
You may have many acquaintances but your friends are few
And on saying this i am not saying anything that is new.
