The Gift kindness offered freely, a broad shoulder on which to cry it is amazing how strong a friend can be to lighten your load and lift your spirits a heart felt smile can change your day a hug given unconditionally is always returned you cannot give a hug without receiving one to wrap someone in a caring embrace is a gift that cannot compare with riches for it can touch the soul and be cherished forever compassion truly felt and gifted from the heart to cry tears with you and share in your pain to dry your eyes and help you smile again to offer advice no matter how feeble and listen with ears that truly hear understanding of each other's strengths and weaknesses words not needed to explain we can walk along together feeling comfort in each other's presence and acceptance for who we are these feelings are a gift a bond that's strong and true they are not given lightly and stand the test of time the gift is called true friendship and i give this gift to you Catherine |

.gif) This touched my heart...in the last few days I have seen so many displays of friendship offered to me through my request of prayers for Shane. Your poem is beautiful and so well done...my favorite if I HAD to pick though I loved it all.. compassion truly felt and gifted from the heart to cry tears with you and share in your pain to dry your eyes and help you smile again to offer advice no matter how feeble and listen with ears that truly hear Amazing....thank you for sharing this. Hold me for yesterday Kiss me for tomorrow But love me for today. |

Catherine~ It's plain to see that you have the 'gift' of a beautiful friendship. Wonderfully written. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

A rare and beautiful gift is that of true friendship. You have expressed that so well. Not all those who wander are lost. ~J.R.R. Tolkien |

Cath*HUGZ* I love this poem. I think it is one of your best. The first time I read it*seems like a long time ago* it almost brought tears, and touched my heart. Truly, everyone that knows your are lucky for they have a Grand Treasure...*BS* Daniel The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship." --Ralph Waldo Emerson |
