Loyalty is important if we want the relationship to last.We have confidence in one another in fine weather and in rainy days,We don’t desert our friends when they run into trouble,Nor do we cling to them in their success,We share with our friends both joys and sorrows.
True friends are the people we can turn to in all circumstances,As the saying goes A friend in need is friend indeed.They are always ready to lend a helping hand to pull us out of a tight comer.
