At the heart of special friendships
is a willingness to share,
to listen and to understand,
to show how much you care.
At the heart of special friendships
is a world of trust and giving,
an honesty, an openness,
that adds true joy to living!

What Is a Friend?
A friend is somebody
who knows you and likes you
Exactly the way that you are,
Someone who's special
and so close in thought
That no distance
can ever seem far.
A friend understands you
without any words,
Stands by you
when nothing goes right,
And willingly
talks over problems with you
Till they somehow just vanish
from sight...
And whether you're neighbors
or live miles apart,
A word from a friend gives a lift
To your heart and your spirit
that shows you once more
Why friendship
is life's dearest gift!
