The Word Friend
The word..friend is often loosely used
Sometimes we speak of a neighbor
or even the meerest acquaintance
as a friend.
Of course, there are pleasant neighbors
and agreeable acquaintances, but ought
there not be something very special about
a friend.
I like the definition I heard many years ago
which makes this distinction between neighbor
and a friend.
Neighborliness looks over the fence
Friendship goes over it
How awesome is that.
