The Basis of Friendship



Friendships thrive when there’s respect, a putting of the other first,
Rather than when those involved are in themselves far more immersed,
Thinking only of their wants and how their friends can satisfy
Just their needs, while they themselves, give back little in reply.
Friendships based on such a premise rarely last long, but will tend
To fall apart as time will show their shallow nature in the end.
Where friendship’s based on mutual giving, there’s more chance that it will last,
Growing deeper and more precious as the years flow swiftly past.
Giving may be complimentary, for all people aren’t the same,
But the welfare of the other always ought to be the aim.
