Rules of Friendship

by

Amanda Marcus

Here are some rules of friendship
which aren’t really rules at all.
It’s just common courtesy
to help friends not to fall.

First, when you’re mad at someone,
tell them, don’t just keep it in.
It’ll make them wonder
what they did to deserve this pain.

Second, if a friend is sad,
don’t make it worse. Pranks
and jokes can wait until
another time, another place.

Third, and last is the best of all, don’t
let friends feel friendship will fall.
No one is helped when you put them down,
especially, if you nail them in the ground.

Here are some rules of friendship
which aren’t really rules at all.
It’s just common courtesy
to help friends not to fall.
