If You'Re A Friend Poem by Guido Martinelli

Do not get drunk together... that is an accomplice...
when your friend is wrong, decided to condemn the error, and strongly help him...
when you correct him, state to have done even worse mistakes,
because help a friend comes before pride..
if he admits an error show admiration for his honesty...
so he will be less afraid next time
be ready to help him, but always being careful not to make him
dependent on your help...
you always have the doubt of not having enough attentions
suffer for his pain and rejoice in his joy
you feel confident enough to let you down deep in his heart
learn from him how to be a better friend, involving him in this
wonderful way to grow together

if you are a friend you do not think it is nice to have this kind of a friends
but just think of how good it feels to be one...
