THE ONLY WAY TO HAVE A FRIEND

"The only way to have a friend is to be one"

Emmerson

The only way to have a friend

Is to be one yourself;

The only way to keep a friend

Is to give from that wealth.

For friendship must be doublefold,

Each one must give his share

Of feelings true if he would reap

The blessing that are there.

If you would say, "He is my friend,"

Then nothing else will do

But you must say, "I am his friend,"

And prove that fact be true.
