Friends

Funny how when you meet someone 
you never really know,
if they are going to stay around 
or suddenly just up and go.

Rarely do you know ahead 
how important they may be,
will it turn into a friendship 
on that you must wait and see.

Interesting also is the way you met 
was it planned or just by chance.
It could happen on the Internet 
or at a summer's dance.

Everyone has an opportunity 
to have an impact on your life.
As an enemy or a lasting friend 
or perhaps a future wife.

Never underestimate 
how important you may become.
For if you take a friend for granted 
you might end up feeling numb.

Depends too what you’re looking for 
it may be just a fling.
But be careful how you treat them 
or trouble is what it will bring.

Someday we may understand 
how important friendships really are.
And if compassion replaced anger 
we really could go far.

Yes, Friends are strangers we’ve yet to meet
and they may come from anywhere.
Always keep compassion in your heart
and let them know how much you care.
