. . . BY BEING YOURSELF

I love you not for what you are,
but for what I am when I am with you.

I love you not only for what you have made
of yourself, but for what you are making of me.

I love you because you have done more than
any creed could have done to make me good,
and more than any fate could have done to
make me happy.

You have done it without a touch,
without a word, without a sign.

You have done it by being yourself. Perhaps that
is what being a friend means, after all.

Forever Friends

Sometimes in life, you find a special friend;
Someone who changes your life by being part of it.
Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop;
Someone who convinces you that there is an unlocked door
just waiting for you to open it.
This is forever friendship....

When you're down, and the world seems dark and empty,
your forever friend lifts you up in spirit and
makes that dark and empty world
suddenly seem bright and full...

Your forever friend gets you through the hard times,
the sad times, and the confused times.
If you turn and walk away, your forever friend follows.
If you lose your way, your forever friend
guides you and cheers you on.
Your forever friend holds your hand
and tells you that everything is
going to be okay.

And if you find such a friend
you feel happy and complete,
because you need not worry.
You have a forever friend for life
and forever has no end...

 

 

Friends Are



It is by chance we met, by choice we became friends...
Friendship is a strange thing....
We find ourselves telling each other the deepest details of our lives...
things we don't even share with our families who raised us...
But what is a friend? A confidant? A lover? A fellow email Junkie?
A shoulder to cry on? an ear to listen? a heart to feel?...
A friend is all these things...and more. No matter where we met, ....I call you friend.
A word so small...yet so large in feeling...a word filled with emotion.
It is true great things come in small packages.
Once the package of friendship has been opened, it can never be closed..
It is a constant book always written...waiting to be read...and enjoyed.
We may have our disagreements...we may argue...we may concern one another...
friendship is a unique bond that lasts through it all....
A part of me is put into my friends...some it is my humor...
some it is my listening ear...some it is real life experiences...some it is my romanticism...
but with all, it is friendship.
Friendships forged are a construction stronger than steel built as a foundation....
necessary for life... and necessary for love.

Friends...you and me...
you brought another friend...
and then there were 3...
we started our group...
Our circle of friends...
and like that circle...
there is no beginning
or end...
