Be A Friend # Edgar Albert Guest

Be a friend. You don&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&unbefriended; Just the will to give or lend, This will make you someone&friend. Be a friend. You don&need glory. Friendship is a simple story. Pass by trifling errors blindly, Gaze on honest effort kindly, Cheer the youth who&bravely trying, Pity him who&sadly sighing; Just a little labor spend On the duties of a friend. Be a friend. The pay is bigger (Though not written by a figure) Than is earned by people clever In what&merely self-endeavor. You&have friends instead of neighbors For the profits of your labors; You&be richer in the end Than a prince, if you&a friend.
