Befriend.............. Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

Befriend anyone Because you might need him or need her one day, Befriend a dog Because you might need him one day, Befriend a passing cloud Because you might need to ride it some day, Befriend a book Because you might need to read it alone, Befriend a passer-by Because two might meet anywhere, Befriend a grain of sand Because you might be lost in a desert, Befriend a wise man Because you might need his wisdom one day, Befriend the sea Because you might ride its rough waves some day, Befriend a woman Because you might need her pretty warmth one day, and Befriend the whole world Because you might need its pretty help some day.
