Have you ever had a friend whom you grew to love, trust and understand? Someone you shared all your secrets, hopes and wishes with? A friend you considered to be as close to you as a sibling? A friend whom you trusted with your life but then they ended up betraying you?
What makes a good friend and how do you know if it’s genuine friendship?
They say your closest friends could be your worst enemies, choose wisely

I’m sure some of you are familiar with this poem that follows.
FRIENDSHIP
Friendship is a priceless gift that cannot be bought or sold And its value is much greater than a mountain made of gold For gold is cold and lifeless, it can neither see nor hear And in times of sorrow, it is powerless to cheer It has no ears to listen, no heart to understand It cannot bring you comfort or lend a helping hand So when you ask God for a gift be thankful if he sends Not diamonds, pearls or rubies but the love of a real, true friend.

DEAR FRIEND
Because you are my friend, I see life in a different way And joy I had not hoped to know adds sparkles to each day A long forgotten memory arises from the past Of all we are allowed to keep and things that never last. But seasons come and seasons go and we remain apart Of all the true nobility we carry in our heart A friend to understand and care that’s how it ought to be And so I pray the road you walk is wide enough for me.

What is a friend. I've found that life has stages. And that a friend isn't exaclty someone that is always there in your life all the time. When I was 5 - 11 I had a certain best friend, and during that time in my life he was truly my best friend, then I moved and I met some new people and from 12 - 19 I had certain friends about 2 to 3 best friends. My best friends didn't go to the high school I went to, but while I was in school I had best friends. Then life changed and I started working and my friends again changed.
I can go on and on, basically what I'm saying is this; I think a friend is someone that helps you in your most time of need. You may know him or had never met him. He may have been by your side since your cradle days, or he heard of your need and wanted to help and did so anonymously. Whatever the case . . .
That's a friend. Everyone else, are just companions on the road of life.
