You Can'T Have Too Many Friends

It isn’t so much about - what sort of substitutes - help the afflicted to hurdle their grief,
It’s more about struggling to cope with their loss, and to never give in to the thief.

Nobody makes it through life without suffering...our tragedies vary from minor to great...
And three of the obstacles most of us face are - succumbing to anger - self-pity - and hate.

Living alone is a double-edged-option that too many people attempt for too long,
And many who choose to - rather than have to - discover, too late, they were wrong. 

Having a truly great friend is important...someone with whom you can gossip - and dance, 
And few that I know to have heeded these words have regretted their taking the chance. 

It’s rarely too late to quit welcoming prospects...(to my way of thinking - not ever)...
So don’t walk away from a chance to make friends, for some - as you know - last forever.
