True Friends

They want me to be loyal
it's ok! I agree
Their problems are the only thing,
but what about me?
I also have many problems
but they never see
or give a helping hand
to support me, ease me.
When they hurt me
they say," We are very sorry."
But have they ever tried to
listen to my side of the story?
Sorry is not enough
they must also stay
with me through difficulties
with me whenever I say.
They must support me
or give me their shoulders to cry.
They must encourage me & say,
"We know you can do it. Just try."
Only if I can get true people
people on whom I can depend.
Who can understand my feelings,
& whom I can call my "True Friends."
I'll do just anything for them.
Anything they'll say.
But they must be true to me
& they must not betray.
But true friends are difficult to find
so their fragrance never go.
They are priceless & their value
only a true heart can know.
