The Lessons of Your Friendship Amy M. Kennedy You must lose something in order to gain In order to appreciate true happiness, you have had to experience pain So I lost me, and I found you In you I have found a friend who is forever true Something isn’t what it always appears to be Looking with your eyes, isn’t what you need to see The tool of the heart is more powerful than sight And we must go through our darkest hour, before we see the light Take nothing for granted, and treasure what is yours Live for today, and not the past closed doors Don’t give up on hope or faith, the best things lay ahead Take that dusty book off the shelf, it needs to be read Friendship is one of the greatest gifts of all time It brings such complete joy, and doesn’t cost a dime Each day is unique, each moment with a friend is a gift in itself A true friend is worth more than any fortune, fame, or wealth You are a true friend, many things you have taught me To believe in myself, and to be all that I can be In you I have learned that the best things are free Forever we will be best friends, you and me! ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~ |

Amy, This is a lovely heartfelt tribute to your friend. You are very lucky to have found each other. One can never have too many good friends!!! I just love the ending. Perfect!!  Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

Something isn’t what it always appears to be Looking with your eyes, isn’t what you need to see The tool of the heart is more powerful than sight And we must go through our darkest hour, before we see the light Take nothing for granted, and treasure what is yours Live for today, and not the past closed doors Don’t give up on hope or faith, the best things lay ahead Take that dusty book off the shelf, it needs to be read -------------- AMY-GIRL THIS IS PERFECTION!!! BY FAR THIS IS SOME OF YOUR BEST WORK. so much wisdom and heart in this well written and thougth thru piece... obviously coming from some deep soul searching. I love seeing this level of writing come from you!! pure sunshine my amy-girl...  ~as always, Take Care,JM~ -------------- I know it's been a long road To get these towns behind me and I Will gladly reap what we may sow-- I am there for you ... and you're there for me ... Are you waiting for Heart in hand Woman and man See me where I stand I am Heart Heart in hand ~vertical horizon~ |
