So here's a little poem on friendship (simple friend vs. true friend). Thank you to all my friends, I truly appreciate you and all that you do for me. Hugs!! :) I'll be in a better mood next time I post, I promise!!
Simple Friend vs. True Friend: A pause for reflection - Anyone can stand by you when you are right but a Friend will stand by you even when you are wrong....
A simple friend identifies himself when he calls. A true friend doesn't have to.
A simple friend opens a conversations with a full news bulletin on his life. A true friend says, "What's new with you?"
A simple friend thinks the problems you whine about are recent. A true friend says, "You've been whining about the same thing for 14 years. Get off your duff and do something about it."
A simple friend has never seen you cry. A true friend has shoulders soggy from your tears.
A simple friend doesn't know your parents' first names. A true friend has their phone numbers in his address book.
A simple friend brings a bottle of wine to your party. A true friend comes early to help you cook and stays late to help you clean.
A simple friend hates it when you call after he has gone to bed. A true friend asks you why you took so long to call.
A simple friend seeks to talk with you about your problems. A true friend seeks to help your with your problems.
A simple friend wonders about your romantic history. A true friend could blackmail you with it.
A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest. A true friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself.
A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument. A true friend knows that it's not a friendship until after you've had a fight.
A simple friend expects you to always be there for them. A true friend expects to always be there for you!
