BE A FRIENDBy Edgar A.

GuestBe a friend.

You don’t need money;Just a disposition sunny;Just the wish to help anotherGet along some way or other;Just a kindly hand extendedOut to one who’s unbefriended;Just the will to give or lend,This will make you someone’s friend.

Be a friend.

You don’t need glory.

Friendship is a simple story.

Pass by trifling errors blindly,Gaze on honest effort kindly,Cheer the youth who’s bravely trying,Pity him who’s sadly sighing;Just a little labor spendOn the duties of a friend.

Be a friend.

The pay is bigger(Though not written by a figure)Than is earned by people cleverIn what’s merely self-endeavor.

You’ll have friends instead of neighborsFor the profits of your labors;You’ll be richer in the endThan a prince, if you’re a friend.
