Friends Forever!
Friends poem A good friend is kind and patient, never jealous, boastful, proud or rude.
A good friend isn’t selfish or quick-tempered. She doesn’t keep a record of wrongs that others do. A good friend rejoices in the truth, but not in evil.
A good friend is always supportive, loyal, hopeful and trusting.
A good friend is a friend to the end.
Based on 1 Corinthians 13:4–7
