BE A FRIEND

Don’t worry about knowing people
just make yourself worth knowing
When you ask how someone’s doing
Wait to listen to the answer.
Pick your friends,
but never pick them to pieces!
A good friend is one who keeps us with you
but never looks down on you.
Deal with the fault of you friends
as gently as if they were your own
The reason a dog is everyone’s friend is
he wags his tail and not his tongue.
