Who Is The True Friend?

A true friend will tell you frankly Your ways you need to mend, Helps correct your poetry Without meaning to offend. A true friend wants the good In you to come out really clean Though often misunderstood And labeled to be mean. A true friend will frankly say Your verbs do not agree Prepositions are just wrong And mass nouns can't be three. She likes for you to grow, succeed Learn in the end, Perfection. But then the road always leads To a rough path of Correction. And so you think that those around Are 'friends' who feed you flattery, What goes around, comes around In the end, you'll write erroneously. Cynthia Buhain-Baello~~~10.03.14
