Forever Friends!

The truth worth of genuine friendship.

By Stanley Collymore

 

The test of true friendship isn’t how much satisfaction or

profit one can derive from a relationship in the shortest

possible time and convince one’s self that all

is well, but rather how patient one can be

when divers problems beset that

relationship, threaten and even

traduce personal reputations -

sometimes beyond repair;

and yet, the loyalty and enduring bonds that

that first moment of respect inspired stay

constant and implacably sincere �"

never doubting the wisdom of

it all and, crucially,

always there.
