Life Is A Great Teacher

You know your true friend when you are in most need For like 'tis said such a friend is a friend indeed One who stands by you when you are feeling down A cash strapped and depressed poor soul of the town 'Tis when you are most in need your friend you come to know You ask one you thought was a good mate for a small loan his answer to you no One who is not short of money of which you are aware Yet a ten dollar note for you he could not spare Yet a person you did not know well one you had met a few times before Gave you the ten dollars and asked did you need more That this person is your friend you've come to realize In life every day there is some new surprise In retrospect in years from now you will recall That those you thought were your friends not your friends after all A lesson for us to be learned from life every day Life is a great teacher it does seem that way.
