A True Friend...

A true friend

Is always honest

To the point

Of being blunt

But always helpful.

  

A true friend

Can see our faults

From miles away

And point them

Out to us lovingly.



A true friend

Won’t leave you

Alone for too long;

They return before you

Notice they were gone.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by: A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain? ~Kahlil Gibran

This is so true, yet so difficult to do.. Its hard to realise at times that what your friend needs is honesty especially when you know it'll hurt them, yet in the end its smarter to hurt somone honestly than to hurt them through a lie...
