 Someone to talk to, and someone to share Someone to trust, and you know they'll be there They never desert you, in sadness or pain And stand by you, whether you lose or you gain... That someone forgives you when you fail to write Or if you need comfort in dark of the night You may only know them from typing onscreen But a friend is a friend, even if they're not seen... They are precious and few, and if just one is lost From misunderstanding, some pain is your cost The spot that they held becomes empty and old And nothing hurts worse than a friendship grown cold... A friend is a diamond that glitters with time The giving and taking adds depth to the shine But sadly, some are a one-sided affair To vanish entirely into life's cold thin air... But don't be downhearted and don't hide away Some new friends are waiting to meet you today And some will become to your heart very near To carry through life, growing close year by year... Those are the friends that we all hope to make The ones we can talk to, who give, not just take When found, they will bless you with laughter and more So, I've answered my question, of 'What are Friends for?' Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart ~~S~~ |

Friends are those who know how to write and share... just like this.  |

Sunny - you write of much wisdom about friends. Sometimes some go, but the close ones are always there it seems... BC |

Sunnyone~ Thank you for this, and these words especially~ They are precious and few, and if just one is lost From misunderstanding, some pain is your cost A friend is a diamond that glitters with time The giving and taking adds depth to the shine But sadly, some are a one-sided affair To vanish entirely into life's cold thin air... It's obvious that you understand the true meaning. *snif* *hugs* |
