Real friends

Are rare

True friends that is

Those who are there for you when things go wrong

Who do not disappear at the first whiff of trouble

Funny how when you need them the ones you thought would be there just disappear

On the periphery was an acquaintance who you did not see as a friend

This person offers help

Is there to listen and support you.

Question were you such a bad judge of character?

Maybe so

Maybe you were caught up in illusion

The illusion that your circle really liked you.

Stop and look around

Are you straight with your friends?

Are you honest?

Do you step forward when things go wrong?

Are you a friend?

Now is a good time to look at your friends and yourself

Friends are special

Be special for those you call friends

Be a true friend

How they behave when you need friends is up to them

Just make sure that you are a true friend when needed
