I remember a long time ago I bought a birthday card for a friend. My favorite kind of birthday card was always the one that had a great picture on the front and was blank inside. That way I could write my own verse. Anyway…on this particular card I wrote a whole poem, which I don’t remember…and I don’t have a copy, but I do remember one line. It said “She said to have a friend you must be a friend“.

I’ve always liked that saying. If you think about it, it would be pretty hard to have a friend, if you weren’t able to be a friend. What good would it do that other person? What kind of friendship would they have if you were always taking from them and never giving back?

Right…it wouldn’t really be a friendship. It wouldn’t even be a friend boat, or dinghy, or canoe. It would be more like a friend unicycle and you wouldn’t be able to ride it.

So…you can do some things like Sally and Bobby and Sandy and Isabella in the poem below. Or you can make up your own way to be a friend. The main thing is…don’t let another day go by without you showing someone you care.

Silly Sally likes to dilly dally…
With knobby Bobby at the downtown lobby.
Dandy Sandy has some handy candy…
When Isabella drops her pink umbrella.

You can share kids…if you care kids…
You can do it here and there kids.
Set your heart free…you can start free…
And don’t let it end…now go be a friend.
