There are those always ready
to share your joy;
never your sorrow;
Those that pamper you today
but not tomorrow;
Those that feign true friendship
fast, but spurious,
Pretending to be genuine,
but just curious;
There are those eager to share
your well-earned triumph
but not defeat;
And in your failure beat
a quick retreat;
Yet, there are those, indeed,
faithful and loyal;
Acknowledge you as if
you are so royal!
Such is life with ways
that do conform
To everything that is
not uniform.
