If a friend is a friend
(From the Woodsman’s Notebook)

If a best friend of a friend is a friend at all should they not help the other friend out?
If they witnessed you while you took your vows shouldn't they help when there is doubt?
If a friend of a friend is in real trouble shouldn't they be there on the double?
If a friend makes a promise to a friend shouldn't that promise from that friend be kept?
Then how does that friend of a friend turn their back on you when you are a friend of a friend?

I wish I could get you to see
(From the Woodsman’s Notebook)

I wish I could get you to see what I see all these things that pain me to see.
I called a friend of yours the other day for help but she just hung up on me.
Even though she knows that what you did and she knows just where you went is wrong
But even though I needed her help in an instant she was gone.
All I wanted was for her to help me out by getting you to understand the mistakes were made by a common man. Yes they were mistakes and that is all but when I tried to call her back she didn’t return my call.
