A Friend Is The Real Gold Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

THE HIGH PRICE OF GOLD, THE METAL, ITS CLOSER COUSIN, THE SILVER, THE METAL, THEIR RICH RELATIVE, THE PLATINUM AND ALL THE OTHER METALS DO NOT MAKE ALL THESE METALS BETTER THAN A NICE FRIEND WHOSE METAL IS MADE OF A SPECIAL METAL. MY FRIEND IS BETTER THAN ALL THE ABOVE-MENTIONED METALS. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT GOLD IS PRECIOUS TO TRADERS, BRIDES, AND ALL THOSE WHO OWN IT, BUT GOLD, TO ME, IS NOT PRECIOUS THAN A GOOD FRIEND. A FRIEND, IN NEED, IS THE REAL GOLD THAT I OWN. WHAT'S THE USE OF LIFE WITHOUT HAVING GOOD FRIENDS. 'A FRIEND INDEED IS A FRIEND INDEED' AS THE PROVERB SAYS. PURE GOLD IS A GOOD FRIEND. A GOOD FRIEND IS RARE AND HE IS A RARE GOLD. THE REAL FRIEND IS THE REAL GOLD.
