A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed

I have friends in need. Friends in need of a friend. It's hard to be friends, with someone who needs a friend. Sometimes I dont know how to act, what to say. Should I say something? Should I say anything? Should I pretend it didnt happen? Should tell anyone else? Should I try to get them help? Its hard. I have to ask myself, if I were in this situation, what would I want from a friend? And I realize, that all I would want is, not a social worker, not a threpist, not someone to play the mom card, just a friend.
