Respect is earned
Not just freely given
You want some one
To trust you
Then earn it
Be someone
They can trust
Don't betray them
You want true friends
Then earn them
Be there for them
As you would want them
To be there for you
Stand up for them
As you would like
Them for you to do the same
See them for
Who they are
And respect them for it too
And if you are lucky
You will find a friend
Or friends
Who will be there for you
Like you try to be there
For them
