FRIENDS ARE SO IMPORTANT IN LIFE...

A FRIEND,

When you are born you have parents

and if you are lucky sisters and brothers.

For that you don't have to do a thing.

For friends you have to work, throughout your life.

It's a quest.

You meet people, you lose them.

Sometimes you find and meet someone special.

That someone can be a friend.

That someone can be special.

Special is what you give and

what you get back from that person.

That person can be there for life.

That person will be there for you.

A friend is warm, supportive, without judging you.

That person is there for you,

even if it's just in thoughts.

That person can be far away in person,

but so close in mind.

That person is someone to cherish throughout your life.

That person is a friend.

Will you be mine?
