What do you think this poem is about?

True Friend

Friend gives you smile
But true friend gives you happiness

Friend will lie about you
But true friend won’t tell your weakness

Friend knives your back
But true friend will slog your face

Thousands friends come when you’re happy
But only one true friend comes when you cry

Friend comes when he needs you
But true friend comes when you need him

Friend leaves when everybody does
But true friend comes when everybody leaves

Friend comes and leaves
But true friend is yours forever

    Dear, Dear Clara:
    I did enjoy your poem and I would like you to read mine called The Bloom of Youth.
    Keep writing and don't rush through life. There is so much new information to be gained when you let life come to you. I wish you all the best.
