It takes a strong person
To keep something alive
And a stronger one
To destroy it

It takes a sweet person
TO have a love like you did
And a sweeter one
To say goodbye

It takes a smart person
TO know when a relationship exists
And a smarter one
To know when one doesn't

It takes a great friend
To comfort a terrible loss
And a greater one
To accept the comforting

It takes a crazy person
To give advice to all
And a crazier one
To take advice from me!

I wrote this yesterday for a friend who is not dealing very well with breaking up with her boyfriend of 6 mths. I guess I just her too much!

giving to a friend helps take your mind off your own problems. she is lucky to have you.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Do not be afraid to give advice if asked, all I saw was good, but the giver can only give, the bulk of knowledge does or does not reside with who is recieving it, we can only give. Just another bump in lifes road.

It takes a loving heart to write something like this for a friend. You have what it takes.

To love another person is to see the face of God.

She is blessed to have you....every word hear shouts with your love for your friend.

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
