If You Know A Friend Is In Trouble
"How Could You Not Help"


From the first grade to the twelfth,

tell me how many secrets did you with hold.

Could you have helped your friends ,

if others had known.


In the persuit of friendship,

where do the bounderies lie.

When whispers are brought your way,

and you could have saved their life.


Friends hear far more

than parents ever hear,

secrets told amongst friends

are often not so dear.


Abuse and rapes and a loss of life

could this be prevented I ask?

When you hold a secret

and never tell as you watch your friend pass.


If you know a friend that is in touble,

How could you not help!

They say you mustn't tell anyone,

of their pending hell.


Could you have been that true friend,

and found the way.

Often we are all they have

to help them find the way.

Could you have showed them

that life could be good,

but first we must open up

so others could help as they would.


Years pass and as we see

our friends fall,

did you hear their cry for help

but told no one afterall.

Secrets are only secrets

if that one person holds them you see,

for to tell another is a plea for help indeed.


If you know a friend that is in trouble,

how could you not help.

To embrace them and bring others

to their aid think not of yourself.


For to be a friend a true friend

no harm would come their way,

so tell me how many of your friends

were true friends along the way.

Author notes:

What is friendship ?
Being there for one another to help them find their way.
