The poem Friendship is a priceless gift That cannot be bought nor sold But it's value is far greater than a mountain made of gold For gold is cold and lifeless It can neither see nor hear And in time of trouble it is powerless to cheer Gold it has no ears to listen, no heart to understand It cannot bring you comfort or reach out a helping hand So when you ask God for a gift Be thankful if he sends Not diamonds, pearls, or riches But the love of real true friends Friends are very rare
Not to be a party pooper but I don't think those last few words as part of the poem. But I really enjoyed it thanks to whoever shared this actually and also for the transcription! Well this officially beats my old-time railroad poem by a long shot. If anybody knows the railroad poem I'm talking about let me know! It's something any old-timer who worked on the railroad their whole life would know
Judging by the amount of likes you're not alone when you say " I have no friends" I'm 67 and have few and none locally just family.... but having friends is part of life's balance
The right people will come in your life at the right time. It is better to be alone than to be around a group of people that say that they are your friends and yet still feel so alone. You always have a friend who will never leave your side. A friend who is there during those hard times when you think no one could ever hear your silent cries. Just know that the Universal God is always with you because the flawless creator is apart of you and will never leave you alone. Just remember to always love yourself first and others will follow 😊
my dad's friends when they get around (they are ordinary people, nothing special in their culture or education) recite poetry (urdu and english both) for FUN and it's classic poetry, new poets, whatever, in their language, elite poetry. and it's just part of the banter, really beautiful poetry and they enjoy it- and this is NORMAL IN THEIR COUNTRY, but not in my generation, theirs and the prior ones. i've seen poorer people than them like that, my ex's family, random ppl in the markets, it was normal until this generation.
If Ali had existed in an era where film and audio were absent and only written material about him existed, he would have been regarded as a fictional character and a myth. But thanks to film and audio we have the opportunity to see and hear this once in a lifetime individual. Truly the GREATEST of all time.

His gifts came from The Source Of All. A cousin of mine was his lawyer. Behind the scenes Ali was a different breed. He talked a man off the roof of a building. Helped him get a place and get back on his feet. Stayed in touch with him for years afterward to give inspiration. A complete stranger. Do you know what type of being does that?
That words were real wisdom. Nowadays, in the world like we live all of us they reveal the terrible vacuum of real ethics values AND principles. Thanks máster Ali for the great lesson!!!

Boxing was a mere gateway through which Ali was introduced onto the global stage. But this man was way beyond Boxing; he was simply a giant of a man.

The poem
Friendship is a priceless gift
That cannot be bought nor sold
But it's value is far greater than a mountain made of gold
For gold is cold and lifeless
It can neither see nor hear
And in time of trouble it is powerless to cheer
Gold it has no ears to listen, no heart to understand
It cannot bring you comfort or reach out a helping hand
So when you ask God for a gift
Be thankful if he sends
Not diamonds, pearls, or riches
But the love of real true friends
Friends are very rare
Id rather have the mountain of gold tbh
Amen 🙏
