True Friend =)

A friend......

A friend who always wants to take,
A friend who says but doesn't do,
A friend who use flattering words,
A friend who joins you in the wrong -

These four friends are really foes,
And one who is wise, having understood this,
Will avoid them from afar,
As if they were a dangerous road.

A friend who always lends a hand,
A friend in both sorrow and joy,
A friend who offers good counsel,
And a friend who sympathizes too -

These are the four kinds of true friends,
And one who is wise, having understood this,
Will always cherish and serve such friends,
Just as a mother tends her only child.
