FRIENDS
Some are friends, for now,
But then, later,
They drop you just like
You’re a hot potato,
They don’t care about you,
Your problems or disease,
They live in ivory towers,
Self-absorbed, if you please,
Some have shallow souls
And hardened, hollow hearts,
And evil or indifference
Permeate all their parts,
So, when you find a true friend,
Treasure them, above gold,
Only they will stick by you,
Until you’re gray and old!
