A Friend of A Friend

A friend of a friend once told me
to make the best of life,
and to cut through life's difficulties,
like butter and a knife.

A friend of a friend once told me
to cherish each moment I get,
for always our days are numbered,
and they aren't always so vibrantly lit.

A friend of a friend once told me
that patience is a virtue,
and although some may not believe,
I believe it to be true.

A friend of a friend once told me
to bask in the warm sun's glow,
for how long we'll be around to feel it,
only God will know.

A friend of a friend once told me
to be honest through and through,
for it always pays to be honest,
and it's good to be trustworthy too.

A friend of a friend once told me
to always have some hope,
for life isn't always certain,
and it helps some people to cope.

A friend of a friend once told me
that I'll always have a friend,
for although our lives may wander,
friendships never truly end.
