1.
A true companion is hard to find and 
a treasure to keep for our entire life; 
A true companion is one who 
never judges you, never calibrates your wealth; 
never sees your faults as primary; 
is blind to your status.
A true companion listens as you share 
your world of joy and sorrow 
lending a warm hug when in need.

2.
A true companion walks with you f
or a mile having no complaints;
Someone who talks about you 
in front of you and never in your absence;
Someone who never scoffs 
at your ignorance and teases for your faults.
A true companion is an epitome of love, 
compassion and understanding;
A rare find.

3.
When you call yourself a true mate,
You see more of the other's good deeds;
You weigh the positives as greater than the benefits;
You learn to accept their faults and
Not snitch about them to others;
You realise your satisfaction when 
in their company outweighs the negatives; 
when all the above is untrue, 
then your company is false

4.
A true companion weighs your positives 
more than your negatives;
Sees ways to help you grow than 
to scoff you and pull you down;
Finds strength when with you 
and does everything to keep you strong;
Does not talk behind you for any reason 
and will never allow gossip. A rare treasure!

5.
A true companion values you 
more than time, money and material things;
Finds worth in spending time
talking to you, encouraging and supports you;
Finds it fulfilling when you excel 
and succeed in whatever you do;
Finds true happiness when you 
reach high echelons and continue growing;
Gives a warm embrace when you 
are in difficult times and need a helping hand. 
That is a true companion; not the one 
who teases and snitches on you 
when you are not around!

6.
Knowing when to call out a wrong,
Knowing when to support to lift you,
Knowing when to motivate to cheer;
Knowing when to listen actively;
Knowing when to talk to come to aide;
Knowing when to encourage you;
Knowing to give a hug when you need;
Is true companionship; materialism not a gauge!

7.
When you show all the care but expect nothing;
When you shower love unconditionally 
but get a transactional love in return;
When you work tirelessly but 
do not get the required appreciation;
When you feel an inhibition to ask 
what you want to eat and do;
When you are in a safe shell and 
do not showcase the real you;
Think and retrospect why it would be!!
