Poem: FRIENDS

Friends are important,
At any time.
Friends need reaching to,
So beware of the climb.
Friends are there,
Whether you know it or not.
Friends are worth a lot,
But not to be bought!
Friends give encouragement
Can you so the same?
Friends need complimented,
Not told they are lame.
Friends need to be noticed,
So keep out an eye.
Friends are all around,
All through the day and nigh’.
Friends should listen,
And so should you.
Friends need to be loved,
And they should love too.
Friends are nice,
But you need to be friends with yourself.
Friends who meet with the up above,
Are worth more than any wealth.
