Friends You Can Choose,Relatives You Can’t

I heard stories about friendship

People talked about good deeds

Friends did

I asked a question to myself

Why I am by my self?

No friends No body to think of me

One day I went to a saint

And asked him why I was alone

Nobody to trust, nobody to help

He asked

Do you care for anybody?

Or trust anybody?

No, I replied

He smiled and said to me

First start caring known, unknown

Do not treat all alike

Trust few you like

You shall get love and care

And friends, you can count upon

Sacrifice before you receive

Never shall you feel lonely and helpless

Friends you can choose

Relatives you can’t

Remember the golden rule

In mind and Heart
