A Good Friend

A good friend is one that is loyal and accepts you for who you are (in good and bad)
A good friend is honest, honest enough to tell you when you are not being a good friend
A good friend is one who tolerates your success and overlooks your failure
A good friend is someone who thinks you are a good egg even though he knows you are slightly cracked

A good friend sees you for who you are
A good friend is not ashamed of you
A good friend only wants to see you become better
A good friend never takes advantage of you

A good friend sees your faults but does not condemn you
A good friend loves you unconditionally
A good friend does not speak ill about you behind your back
A good friend always has your back

A good friend celebrates with you
A good friend mourns with you
A good friend praises you when you do good
A good friend chastises you when you don’t

Each day I long to be a better person, a better friend not just for my friends but also for me.
Friendship can be hard, commitments and all but friendship is what makes the day complete.
Having that friend to tell about the stressful day, having that friend to always cause trouble and argue with.
Having a friend that you can be honest with, and can be honest with you, is one of the best gifts in the world.

I know you want a good friend, but ask yourself this; “Are you a good friend?”
