It is not that we carry the same tune; but that
we harmonize so well....
It is not that we are so alike; but that the
differences complement...
It is not that one gives and the other receives,
but that both are richer...
It is not that one follows where the other leads,
but that we walk side by side...
It is not about total agreement in thought, but a
commitment to mutual respect...
It is not about a measurement of time, but a
measurement of caring....
It is not about this or that or the other, but it
is about all of those things....
It is called true friendship.

Yes..yes..I did enjoy this, and found a lot of truth in it.   Sounds like something I've been looking to send a good friend for a long time now.

Wonderful expression of what true friendship
brings to the table! Where our differences
can be shared and bring us together instead
of pushing us apart.  Excellent writing and
message~

Thank you all so much for the encouraging words....

This one was inspired by the kind of friend you only find rarely....our friendship I would define as soulfriends   Sure makes me feel good to know I might have come close to describing exactly how wonderful it feels!!!
