Friendship isn't always easily described. The Eskimos, they say, have a hundred different words for snow. Unfortunately, the English language isn't quite as innovative, though it has vast opportunities to differentiate meaning. Certainly, Love is one of those opportunities. And so, too, is Friendship.
Instead of different words, however, we're stuck with simple
adjectives. Close friend. Best friend. Childhood friend. Intimate friend. Trusted friend. Beloved friend. But whether you use adjectives or different words, few could deny the nearly infinite meaning in such a simple word.
Friends are special people. We can't pick our family, and we're sorely limited in the number of them at any rate. Society and mores (and often our own conscience) dictate we select a single mate. But our friends can be as diverse and infinite as the adjectives we choose. Our friends, in a very real sense, reflect the choices we make in life.
A Place Called
Friendship Lane
We may not meet as often
As we would like, it's true
But there's a place ... in Friendship Lane
Where I meet in thought with you
And always, as we meet and chat
As friendly as can be
Quite magically, the hours take on
New happiness for me
And it's grand to know that always
Through cloudy days or fair
Whenever I walk down Friendship Lane
I find you waiting there

Special Dedication To ...
My Dear Friends
 Daisy & Razor
Again, cupid drew back his bow, shooting his arrow into cyberspace, striking the hearts of two of our dearest friends. Having survived the challenge of a romance on the net, these two wonderful people have long since come together to enjoy the gift of love. Razor, a genuine, caring, outgoing American bro (feared by every Hacker on the net and master of the mighty MC mill) and Daisy, a tender, gentle loving Kiwian, an independent woman of true substance. My dear friends are always there for me. I cherish the special moments that we share and have found great support in their understanding, encouragement and caring smiles. Daisy and Razor, you will always hold a very special place in my heart.
Dave N
Dave, my dearest friend, the gentle bubba with a heart of gold, will always hold a special place in my heart. His unique sense of humor has always managed to put a smile on to my face in any difficult situations. We shared many beautiful and quality moments exchanging views, relating our dreams and goals together. Oh yes, mega discussions on softball and the targeted homeruns he should hit in a game.*lol* Thank you for standing by my side at all times, Dave. Love you my precious and dearest pal.*hugs*
