You Will Come To Know

You will come to know who your friend is when you are in financial need
For your friend at such a time is a true friend indeed
Many you think are your friends in your side of the town
May well not be so if you happen to be financially down
You may have many acquaintances but your true friends are few
And this is not saying anything that is new
When you are financially down few of your troubles wish to hear
And most of your friends from your life disappear
It is then who your true friends are you come to realize
And in any way this is not any surprise
Your acquaintances are many and your true friends are rare
In your time of need of this you will become aware
On your time of need your friend will stick by you
And this is only saying what is obviously true.
