Surround yourself with friends
Who have the time for you
Who will not offer excuses
When trouble or problems brew
To those, who excuses, find
Don’t think we are dumb and blind
If you have us in heart and mind
You’ll always be helpful and kind
It’s just a question of priorities
For if they really do care
They’ll always find the time
To all, your experiences, share
Fair weather friends are those
Whose excuses hurt like whips
the caring ones will help though
to heal your internal bruises
So learn this lesson well
And keep friends few and true
For these are the gems of mankind
Who’ll always stick by you
