Poetic Verses
Those Times
True friends are hard to come by
They don't grow on a tree
And I often failed to let mine know
Just what they mean to me.
Those times when I ignored them
Even though they were quite near
It seemed I was too self-absorbed
To lend a listening ear.
Those times I disrespected them
As arrogant I became
But the degradation was mine alone
For they were not to blame.
Those times I was too stubborn
And had to have my way
It didn't seem to bother me
When they would walk away.
But I finally learned my lesson
When they confronted me
And made me see how wrong I was
To behave so foolishly.
No, true friends don't come easy
They don't grow on a tree
So, from now on, I'll let mine know
Just what they mean to me.
