A best friend is someone who makes you laugh even when you think you'll never smile again. Should you feel inclined to censure Faults you may in others view, Ask your own heart, before you venture, If you have not some failings too. Let not friendly vows be broken; Rather strive a friend to gain. Many words in anger spoken Find their passage home again. Do not, then, in idle pleasure Trifle with another's fame; Guard it as a valued treasure, Sacred as your own good name. Do not form opinions blindly; Hastiness to trouble tends; Those of whom we thought unkindly Often become our warmest friends. ~ Author Unknown ~ © Tina's Prayer Gate November 21, 2019
