The One They Never Mention

They say Love lasts forever,
That Family sticks together.
But they never say one thing,
About Friendship.

They never mention when you discover,
Love doesn't last forever,
Family doesn't always stick together,
Without Friendship you'll snap, like a dried up twig.

They pick you up, when you fall,
They hold you, when you cry,
But next to Love and Family,
No one pays attention to Friends.

Next time listen when they say,
"Love lasts forever, and Family sticks together."
And don't forget to add,
"And Friends are always there."
