 A true friend does not offer judgement when you need someone to be there They don’t give condemnation when you need someone to care A true friend doesn’t take when you need someone to give They don’t hand you a death wish when you only want to live A true friend doesn’t turn when you need someone to see your heart They don’t plug their ears when your anquished cries start A true friend doesn’t ask why instead they give the quiet comfort you need They won’t walk away and leave you alone as the wolves come out to feed A true friend doesn’t save the best for last and leave you without They don’t let silence swallow you instead they’ll lend a voice to shout A true friend doesn’t look beyond heart and soul to see what’s there They don’t let you wonder how they feel but tell you that they care A true friend doesn’t need to agree to accept you for who you are They make sure you always know where to find them and are never very far A true friend is nothing less than everything you need them to be They are the ones that are clapping and smiling as you are set free I give you all these things as you’ve given all this to me and more I hear you as you ask why.....because...that’s what a true friend is for |

Hey, Butterflies! Good to see you around here! 'A true friend doesn’t need to agree to accept you for who you are' Truly the most overlooked fact about friendship. Wonderful write! Love it! sp Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'it might have been.' -John Greenleaf Whittier |

A true friend doesn’t turn when you need someone to see your heart They don’t plug their ears when your anquished cries start A true friend doesn’t ask why instead they give the quiet comfort you need They won’t walk away and leave you alone as the wolves come out to feed A true friend doesn’t save the best for last and leave you without They don’t let silence swallow you instead they’ll lend a voice to shout ================== well... it takes one to know one ...  YA KNOW.... YEAH ..YOU KNOW ... this is A WONDERFUL gesture .. and a beautiful butterfly poem love ya girlie girl ... me |

Butterflies, Amy must be a terribly lucky girl. This is such a tender, honest sentiment. I wish friends like this were not the sweet rarity that they are. Congratulations on your friendship and depth of heart. ~ Beth |

Thank you to each and every one of you. Amy has always been a kind and gentle friend, offering her shoulder and friendship to me anytime I needed it...I just wanted to show her that the same goes for her from me. My love to each one of you for your comments, thank you from the bottom of my heart. [This message has been edited by Butterflies_dont_cry (edited 10-16-2000).] |

Dear Amy* As I've said so many times to you during my days here at passions you landed in my heart with the wings of an angel and as you have shared your heart through your poetry I've watched you shine. I'm only the friend that you allow me to be and so for you to honor me with your comments only goes to further show my point that YOU sweet Amy-girl are an angel and as J.M. pointed out in your post...there is another angel that we know is very proud of you for your strength and courage to be true to yourself...I'm sure she's smiling today for you~ |
