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
