SPECIAL FRIENDS

SPECIAL PEOPLE
The special people in this world
are the most precious
and the most appreciated people of all.
No matter what happens,
they always seem to understand.
They go a million miles out of their way.
They hold your hand.
They bring you smiles,
when a smile is exactly what you need.
They listen
and they hear what is said
in the spaces between the words.
They care,
and they let you know
you're in their prayers.
Special people
always know the perfect thing to do.
They can make your whole day
just by saying something
that no one else could have said.
Sometimes you feel like
they share with you a secret language
that others can't tune into.
Special people
can guide you,
inspire you,
comfort you,
and light up your life with laughter.
Special people
understand your moods and nurture your needs,
and they lovingly know
just what you're after.
When your feelings come from deep inside
and the need to be spoken to someone;
you don't have to
hide from,
you share them...
with special people.
When good news comes,
special people
are the first ones you turn to,
and when feelings overflow
and tears need to fall,
special people
help you through it all.
Special people
bring sunlight into your life.
They warm your world with their presence,
whether they are far away or close by your side.
Special people
are gifts that bring happiness,
and treasures that money can't buy.
