The Few in a World of Many

A true friend
is when a hand
is extended
for you to grasp
a life line
when your struggling
drowning
in life's gutter
A friend
is when you argue
and good company
has now departed
yet
they never speak
in bitterness
or say
what they know
about you
they are the few
within our world
of the many
who believe
that the unwritten
bond
that secures
respect and beyond
is nothing
but a motif
on a toilet roll
