Be a friend. You don't need money-
just a disposition sunny,
Just the wish to help another.
Get along some way or other;
Just a kindly hand extended
out 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 spend
on the duties of a friend.
Be a frined. The pay is bigger
(though not written by a figure)
Than is earned by people clever
In what's merely self-endeavor.
You'll have friends instead of neighbor's
For the profits of your labors;
You'll be richer in the end
Than a prince, if you're a friend.
written by Edgar A. Guest
