A

An old man asked me,
“How many friends do you know?”
I said, “Maybe ten or twenty.”
And listed a few below.
He stood up slowly, sighed (叹气), and said,
“You’re lucky—but you’re wrong.
A friend isn’t just someone
You greet and get along with.
A friend is a shoulder to cry on,
A listener when you’re low,
A hand that lifts you up
When fake friends let you go.
A true friend stays forever,
Faithful, strong, and true.
He remembers you when others don’t,
And stands by you through and through.
But most of all, a friend is love—
A heart that won’t fall apart.
For the greatest love in life
Comes from a friend’s heart.”
