為友
毋須財
僅需暖陽光常在
僅需溫柔滿關懷
心寬神怡自在
手贈玫瑰
幽人來
僅需意念願慷慨
為朋為友不徘徊
 
為友
毋求榮
君子之交淡勝濃
行行過暇滿目空
眼眼皆瑜誠為忠
感讚少年敢為勇
攜手哀者攜心痛
僅需舉手之動
為友之職
在其中
 
為友
酬更厚
(青史無名無人候）
豐裕更勝智者謀
智者自謀自風流
免若鄰人聞雞犬
天涯處處皆摯友
赤心付桑榆收
優優千秋
富勝侯
為友

Be a friend
By Edgar Albert Guest (20 August 1881 – 5 August 1959).

Guest was a British-born American poet who became known as the People's Poet. His poems often had an inspirational and optimistic view of everyday life.
 
Be a friend.  
You don't need money;
Just a disposition sunny;
Just the wish to help another
Get along some way or other;
Just a kindly hand extended
Out to one who's unbefriended;
Just the will to give or lend,
This will make you someone's friend.
 
Be a friend.
You don't need glory.
Friendship is a simple story.
Pass by trifling errors blindly,
Gaze on honest effort kindly,
Cheer the youth who's bravely trying,
Pity him who's sadly sighing;
Just a little labor spend
On the duties of a friend.
 
Be a friend.  
The pay is bigger
(Though not written by a figure)
Than is earned by people clever
In what's merely self-endeavor.
You'll have friends instead of neighbors
For the profits of your labors;
You'll be richer in the end
Than a prince, if you're a friend.
