The ABC's of Being a Good Friend

Teacher, what is a good friend?” I often hear asked.
To describe a good friend is no short simple task.
Friends come in all ages and types, it is true,
But good friends at their core will be true to YOU.

So come, take a look, at this ABC book,
and I’m sure you will discover,
that the best type of friend is forgiving and fair,
they won’t judge a book by its cover.

And after you read, I’m sure you will see,
good friends are worth hanging onto.
Do you have a good friend?
I hope that you do.
And when your friend is asked what a good friend looks like,
I’m hoping that they’ll point to you.

They ALL have great skills.
Those skills might be painting or basketball drills.
Some friends may love running or singing or math!

Good Friends are HONEST.
They say what is true.
