How Many Friends Have You??? The Old man turned to me and asked. "How many Friends Have You?" Why 10 or 20 Friends.....I have plenty, And I named off a just a few.... He rose quiet slow with effort. And sadly shook his head. "A lucky child you are , To have so many Friends." He said. But think of what you're saying, There is so much that you do not even know who to name...... A Friend is just not someone to whom you say,"Hello" A Friend is tender shoulder On which to softly cry on.... A well,to pour your troubles down... And of course,raise your spirits high. A friend is a hand to pull you up from darkness and despair.... When all your other"So called"friends Have helped to put you there. A True Friend is an ally Who can't be moved or bought... A voice to keep your name alive, When others have forgotten. But most of all,a Friend is a heart... A very strong and sturdy wall For from the hearts of Friends There comes the great love of all !!! So think of what I've spoken For every word is true And answer once again my child, "How Many Friends Have You?? " and then he stood and faced me, Awaiting my reply. Softly I answered, "If Lucky.. One.. I Have You !!!!'
