Be a Friend<br> <br><br>Be a friend. You don't need money;<br>Just a disposition sunny;<br>Just the wish to help another<br>Get along some way or other;<br>Just a kindly hand extended<br>Out to one who's unbefriended;<br>Just the will to give or lend,<br>This will make you someone's friend.<br><br>Be a friend. You don't need glory.<br>Friendship is a simple story.<br>ass by trifling errors blindly,<br>Gaze on honest effort kindly,<br>Cheer the youth who's bravely trying,<br>ity him who's sadly sighing;<br>Just a little labor spend<br>On the duties of a friend.<br><br>Be a friend. The pay is bigger<br>(Though not written by a figure)<br>Than is earned by people clever<br>In what's merely self-endeavor.<br>You'll have friends instead of neighbors<br>For the profits of your labors;<br>You'll be richer in the end<br>Than a prince, if you're a friend.<br><br>~ Edgar Guest ~<br><br> |
