Be Careful in Choosing Your Friends

Friends will come
And friends will go.
Many you will never know.

Some are real!
Some are not!
Be aware of those that plot!

Good ones, few!
Phonies, many!
Lifetime friends!  Rare, if any!

Use your head!
Ask your heart!
Choose your friends and choose them smart.

Some will cheat you!
Some will hurt you!
Some turn quick and then desert you.

Some will try
to bring you down.
Turn your smile to a frown.

There’ll be good ones!
They’ll be rare.
They’re the ones who love and care.

Treat them good.
Tell no lies!
Be yourself.  Wear no disguise!

Know that they
can trust in you.
Be a friend and be it true.

Lose the ones
That you can’t trust.
Those that fill you with disgust.

A friend is one
who betters you.
Pray for one, you might get two.

For he who has
a trusted friend.
One they, truly, can depend.

Must, in return,
a friend, true, be.
That they can trust, dependably.

I shared my thoughts!
I gave my views.
Be careful in the friends you choose.
