Having fewer friends
is often more,
close friendships
need caring for.
And the best way
to stay bonded and near
is by loving completely and
being sincere.
Lending your heart
or a sympathetic ear
can help eliminate
all sorts of fears.
And one good friend
is all we really need
for the heart to be happy
and blissfully freed.

Well said, one true friend is much better than 100 friends. A friend who is willing to accept you in your bad times, who is happy with you in your happy times and sad with you in your tough times is a true friend. Such friends are hard to find, but once you have them, never let them go.
