Surround yourself

NafisaSB

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

    It is Di important to connect w the right people.

    • NafisaSB

      you have nailed it on the head, my friend. it's better to have a few but true, rather than a large group of fair weather friends.
      take care, have a good day, and may you always have true blue friends around you

      • Bobby O

        I wrote a trilogy of three short pieces that speaks to that.
        First get rid of the no goof
        Then figure out the right type of people
        Then bask and enjoy the new group.

        Please read them? It’s titled trilogy and easy to find in my poems. Share your impression as I’d love to hear your thoughts!

            What's that line: a good heart these days is hard to find..goes with friends also, I am grateful for the few I have.
            I've learnt to expect nothing nothing and ask little, after that is only joy.
            And if I may ramble a bit longer- everyone will be judged by their actions, and God is the rewarder.
            Love to you and all.

              i empathize with your sentiments. expect nothing, and you will be overwhelmed with the joy the few true friends can give..
              It's also true we will all be judged by our each and every action - so let us be careful how we behave
              thanks for your feedback - wishing you lots of true friends in the years ahead
