Analysis of Friends
This is strange if not thought well,
And to think of it not strange,
That at a time we are fortunate,
People should around us be,
But when difficulties encountered
all men scatter,
It's nature's way established long ago,
Success draw friends,
Failure scatter 'nd disper friends,
Such is life,
Real friends are as easy
to find as breaking a nut with an egg,
There are friends and also
there are real friends,
Friends eat the fortune
and scatter at failure,
Real friends build and preserve the fortune,
'nd standby with you at failure,
See! The two is quite different things,
But to know is quite a task.
