WE NEVER KNOW

 

It seems we never know people:

Until we are down –

Rainy day friends never come around!

It seems we never know people:

Until it’s time –

Do they care or is it a state of mind?

It seems we never know people:

Until we have a need –

Friendship should come before greed!

It seems we never know people:

Until we need help –

A promise made is a promise kept!

It seems we never know people:

Until they are gone –

Were they a friend or were we wrong?
