Poetry Lovers: A Good Friend

 

A Good Friend


 A good friend is patient,

He can wait a moment.

He listens and waits for his turn

He does not rush into things or friendships.

 

He is kind and not harsh,

He is sensitive to your needs.

He is kind, but not blind,

He will let you know gently.

 

He does not want what you have,

He wants your best.

If you have done your best,

He is happy for you.

 

He does not think he is so special,

And that he is better than yourself.

He can let you win and not be hurt,

He wants to serve you, you are the best.

 

A good friend is always courteous,

He is a true gentle man.

His words are full of wisdom,

 And his actions shows it.

 

 He is not always preoccupied,

With his own interests and likes.

He does not try to manipulate you,

In doing what he wants to do.

 

It is not easy for him to become angry,

He would rather talk about it right away.

If you have done something wrong to him,

He forgets it, he keeps a short list.

 

A good friend will not laugh at you,

Especially, if you get hurt.

He will always encourage you,

And help you succeed.

 

Even when others have turned away,

Because the going for you was rough.

You know you have a good friend,

If he is one who stays.
