It’s easy to say, “Make Friends.”
But how do you do that?
It’s not as easy as it sounds.
Not like putting on a hat.
To have a friend, you must
Be a friend, they say.
I say that’s important…
But there’s another important way.
To have a friend, you must
Reach out and share your heart.
You can’t be afraid of rejection –
You just have to be the start.
Be the start by helping others.
Be the start by praying.
Be the start by being compassionate.
Be a friend who’s there for playing.
Play the games they like to play.
Invite them over for tea and toast.
Go out riding on your ATV, or
Ask them what they like the most.
Don’t limit talk to texting words.
Don’t just “friend” on a Facebook page.
Call ’em up. Send a card. Drop by.
Go out for lunch or go dance on a stage!
Friendship is like Love, I think.
It’s a verb, an act of doing.
Lost a friend you used to love?
Reach out and start renewing.
Renew your commitment to be the one
Who is steady, honest, and true.
That friendship can be kindled afresh.
But being a friend is UP TO YOU!
