How many of you can find a faithful friend?
That will stick close by you unto the very end

Always ready to give more than they will take

A friend when in need is a friend indeed Show yourself friendly by sowing the seed How sweet are the words spoken between friends Just like a balm that heals or a needle that mends .../// exactly written you are Friendship a great love none can break it none can remove it none can wash off it none can rub out it .................///

This is difficult to get a faithful friend. But we expect to get a such friend. A friend that sticks closer than any brother is very trustworthy. This Earth exists basing upon trust. A friend is needed ever. Helping each other we can live happily. This poem is excellently penned.10

Love your poem Patricia, I was extremely Blessed to have such friends, two have already passed on and I have one left that I know I can count on in a heartbeat. I've heard it said, if you have one in a lifetime you are Blessed so I'm saying I'm extremely Blessed. I love the flow of this poem as well Patricia.....

You refer twice to conversation between friends: the first refers to ordinary talk that has the added virtue of helping both friends to unwind - Do we ever need that in the mad race of life! The second reference in put in ideal poetic language - HOW SWEET IT IS TO TALK TO A FRIEND. The adjective SWEET is so well chosen because it emphasizes the sheer joy of such talk is the friend's presence, the topic can be anything.

Great poem on faithfulness. Friendship is a river that can be deep and wide, but constantly flowing with love. I like your last stanza: A friend that sticks closer than any brother Very trustworthy and not the same as another You can count on them to answer when you call There to help you when your back is to the wall

sincere friends hard to find. if we are sincere in what we do for other people we may have many friends. But today, we surround by materialistic goods and money. With money we can have plentiful Faked friends.
