A FRIEND by PETER ALFRED PETERSON

First Line: WHO IS A FRIEND? PERHAPS YOU BOAST OF MANY
Last Line: AND THUS BE KNOWN UNTIL MY LIFE SHALL END.
Subject(s): FRIENDSHIP;

Who is a friend? Perhaps you boast of many,
Perhaps you say, "I doubt if I have any."
A friend is one who knows you through and through,
And still is faithful and speaks well of you.

A friend is one 'bout whom you need not worry,
He changes not his friendship in a hurry.
Such friends are few; so may I be a friend,
And thus be known until my life shall end.
