WHO is A REAL FRIEND

A friend is person who is for
you" always, under any suspicious.
He never investigates you.
When charges are made against
you. he does not ask proof. He asks
the accuser to clear out
He likes you just as you are. He
does not want to alter you.
lie likes your success, And your
failure endears you TO him the more.
He is better than a lover, because
he is never jealous.
He wants nothing from you, except
that you be yourself.
He is the one being with whom you
can feel safe. with him you can
utter your heart, its badness and its
goodness. You don't have to be care
ful.
In his presence you can be indis-
Greet; which means you can rest.
There are many faithful wives and
husbands, there are few faithful
friends,
Anybody may stand by you when
/ you arc right a friend stands by you
even when you are wrong.
The highest known form OF friend.
