Recipe for Friendship
There's a recipe for friendship that's old but still true
It's one that never fails, and I'd like to share it with you.
First, you need someone who accepts you as you are,
Someone who doesn't need you to be some kind of major star.
Someone who'll cry with you and share your deepest pain,
Someone who'll lift you till you can stand again.
Someone who finds your jokes funny and laughs to show it
Someone who really likes YOU, and lets you know it.
Someone you're glad you have all the years through...
This recipe for friendship can be found in you.
Friendship is a strange thing...
We find ourselves telling each other the deepest details of our lives...
Things we don't even share with our families who raised us...
But what is a friend?
A confidant? A lover? A fellow email
junkie?
A shoulder to cry on? An ear to listen to? A heart to feel?...
A friend is all of these things...and more.
Whether we met IRL, over The World, over Resort, or SE, or
anywhere...
I call you friend.
A word so small... yet so large in feeling...
A word filled with emotion.
It is true great things come in small packages.
Once the package of friendship has been opened,
It can never be closed...
It is a constant book always written...
Waiting to be read and enjoyed.
We may have our disagreements...
We may argue...
We may concern one another...
Friendship is a unique bond that lasts through it all.
A part of me is put into my friends...
Some it is my humor...
Some it is my listening ear...
Some it is real life experiences...
Some it is my romanticism...
But with all, it is friendship.
Friendships forged are a construct stronger than steel...
Built as a foundation...
Necessary for life...
And necessary for love.
Friends...you and me...
You brought another friend...
And there were three...
We started our group...
Our circle of friends...
And like that circle...
There is no beginning or end...
It is by chance we met, by choice we became friends.
