A True Friend
Is one who understands where you have been,
accepts who you have become
and loves you unconditionally as you are.
She does not wish you luck as you step out into the unknown...
she walks into the void by your side.
She will not offer distractions
nor easy advice in your time of need...
instead she will pray for wisdom, born of compassion
and a willingness to take your pain upon herself.
Such a friend will always speak of you when you are not present,
as though you were,
and though she may not always share your sunny days,
she will always be there to help you through the stormy ones.
She is not skeptical of your blooming,
nor jealous of your shining apart from her,
for she seeks not to steal your joy,
but to multiply it.
It has been well said that there is no greater
love than this...
for a true friend does not take life from you,
she gives you her own.
S. G. Rose
The greatest sweetener of human life is Friendship.
To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment,
is a secret which but few discover.
-Joseph Addison-
Some people have a large circle of friends
while others have only friends that they like.
-Anonymous-
From quiet homes and first beginning,
Out to the undiscovered ends,
There’s nothing worth the wear of winning,
But laughter and the love of friends.
-Hilaire Belloc-
The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand,
nor the kindly smile nor the joy of companionship;
it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when
he discovers that someone else believes in him
and is willing to trust him.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson-
If you have one true Friend,
you have more than your share comes to.
-Thomas Fuller-
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility,
never an opportunity.
-Kahlil Gibran-
A real friend is one who walks in when
the rest of the world walks out.
-Walter Winchel-
Think where man’s glory most begins and ends,
And say my glory was I had such friends.
-William Butler Yeats-
The Keeper of Friendship
In a friendship
We're free to expose,
Parts of ourselves
Nobody else knows.
But the thing that sustains it
And sets it apart,
Is not something spoken
It's a bond of the heart.
True friends are rare
In a lifetime two or three,
I'm so glad it happened
Between you and me!
