I have riches beyond mere gold,
They are my friends who do enfold,
Me with their caring and selfless ways,
They light my nights and grace my days.

I never have to stand alone,
One's at my door or on the phone.
They gift me with their understanding,
They're always giving, not demanding.

Whenever life can get me down,
My friends erase last trace of frown,
Replacing it with joyous smile,
For me they'd walk a country mile.

They guarantee I never lack,
They love and guide me, and guard my back,
They anticipate my every need,
My heart and soul they daily feed.

I have riches beyond mere gold,
They are my friends who do enfold,
Me with their caring and selfless ways,
They light my nights and grace my days.

True friends are treasures...
I hope you are blessed with many.

To have lived the dream of a love so true...

(does happy dance) Awwwwwww, I know just how you feel for I believe ihaving friends is the most important thing in life, so when you need them the most or even the least, they can always give you a hand and make you smile, yay! (smiles) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

So true! Far too often people fall into that trap, never truly believing that they themself are of true value.
