Heaven Knows I can't afford to lose a friend

Heaven Knows I can't afford to lose a friend

A Poem by SmittyJas
"

Friendship and relationships

"
I have very few friends
Heaven knows I can afford to lose one
They don't come in bunches
Like bananas

Or grow on vines like grapes
You touch them 
Heart to Heart
Soul to Soul

Try not to make them your fool
Don't take them for granted
Some are God's only gift
Some will turn on you and join the devil in a ditch

God planted good friends
Like good seeds in good soil
and then there are the bad seeds
That are for the spoil

A good friend is like good Seed
Makes good harvest
Bad seed makes enemies
and is wasted in the sand where nothing can grow

The Lord Says be like good seeds
become like good friends
Help one and other
and be like the bunch of Bananas that will be blessed

Good friends are indeed hard to find. In a lifetime if you get the amount of fingers on one hand, you are lucky. Valentine

Very much truth to this piece! Real friends are hard to find and they certainly don't
come in bunches, the one's we are blessed with we must cherish, thanks for sharing and b-blessed!

There are a very few people who we can truly call friend and none of us can afford to lose them I agree with your view :)
