Friendship Poem By Tom Stipech

Finding a true friend is very awkward at times.

Real friends may stand for you forever.

Including one as a friend at a crisis is the true test.

Everybody needs friends.

No body can exist without a friend.

Do try to make up a friendship.

Sing alot even if you can not sound good to others.

Have alot of relationships.

Include ALL as friends.

Put yourself in another situation before you make up judgements.

Friendship, Written by Tom Stipech

We appreciate your cooperation! :)
