A
Friend
should
be
Radical;
They should love you when you're unlovable,
Hug you when you're unhuggable,
And bear you when you're unbearable.
A
Friend
should
be
Fanatical;
They should cheer when the whole world boos,
Dance when you get good news,
And cry when you cry too.
But
most
of
all,
a
Friend
should
be
Mathematical;
They should multiply the joy, Divide the sorrow,
Subtract the past, And add to tomorrow,
Calculate the need deep in your heart,
And always be bigger than the sum of their parts.
