'A FRIEND IS........'

A friend is...............

One who repairs my hurt,

One who banishes my loneliness,

One who gives me the truth,

One who gives me happiness.

A friend is..............

One who understands my anxieties,

One who deepens my spirits,

One who encourages my new discoveries,

One who gives me life's lifts.

A friend is..................

One who strengthens my heart,

One who enlightens my mind,

One whose soul and mine are seldom apart,

One of whom I can say, 'A friend, that is mine',

A friend is.........

One who increases my joy,

One who dissolves my pain,

One whose friendship I enjoy,

One whose support I can gain.

A friend is.......

One who knows how I feel,

One who knows what I think,

One whose bonds to me are like steel,

One who I know what he thinks.

A friend is............

One who knows my faults and all

and still loves me for being just me.
