The Key To Friendship..

Is Not In The Hand You Hold,

But How You Hold The Hand.

It's Not In The Tears You Dry,

But All The Reasons Why.

It's Not How You Make A Person Smile

But Whether Or Not It's WorthWhile.

It's Not In The Conversation,

But In The Way You Listen.

It's Not In The Laughter,

But What Comes Before And Everything After.

The Key To Friendship..

Is Not In Two People Relating,

But In Two Hearts Communicating.

Thank You For Being That Very Special Friend,

Who Understands The Key To Friendship,

And How To Unlock Everything Within.

When I feel as if I'm lost..

without an end in sight..

I look and there you are one step behind.

When I feel as though the world..

is bigger than my dreams..

I look and there you are right behind me.

When my biggest fear is failure..

and I see no way to win..

I look and there you behind me, my friend.

You're Always There!

That's What Friends Are Made Of!

All the things that I find precious,

special and unique...

Have found their way into a treasure box

where the memory and value will keep.

But you my friend, as special as your are...

are kept inside a much more loving place

deep inside my heart.

My heart holds many treasures

those with faces and with names..

where love for those close to me

will forever be sustained.

I'm thankful for you today and always

You came along when I needed you most

You held my hand,

You held me close

You showed me that tomorrow the sun will shine

And that life isn't bad all the time.

You gave me a hug when I needed it most

Whether it be virtual or real.

Somehow, you always seem to know

Just how I feel.

You gave me a shoulder to lean on

When I felt too weak to stand alone

You helped me see that I am strong,

And I'm never on my own.

For all that you do for me,

I am so very grateful.

And each night I find the brightest star

And thank God for giving me a friend
with such a caring heart
