Beneath the green wood tree

Leaves falling off the tree

Feeling unhappy

As the wind blows by  

I look up into the sky

And I think to myself

Who am I.......

My friends are very important to me. Each and every one of them have been a
great friend to me even when things are not good. So let me explain to you in
the next 3 paragraphs what being a good friend means.

Being a good friend values you to care for one another. That means showing
respect or aroha to show that you care for them even when something is hard.
For example when your friend is going through a rough time you should always
be there to show aroha and be kind-hearted towards them so they can feel
better and know that you will always care for her/him.

Another way of being a good friend is having trust in your friendship.
Yes, that means having trust between you and your friends whether its a boy or
girl. That shows you know that if you tell them something personal you can trust
that they won’t apprise anyone.

Encouraging your friend is another way of being a good friend. Meaning you are
always there to encourage them in doing something they’ve never tried before
or when they are in a game. E.g if you are at their rugby game you will be on the
sideline encouraging him/her to either do a big tackle , score a try or get the kick
over the goal post.

And there you go, 3 ways of being a good friend. I know that my friends care
and trust me. They also encourage me, especially to try something new. Even
if it was me trying to play a sport like football and I fail the first couple of times
there still there to help me out and encourage me to keep going. I hope you are
one of those people.
