Do you not see that you and I
are as the branches in one tree?
With your rejoicing comes my laughter;
with your sadness start my tears.
Love, could life be otherwise with You and Me?
--Tzu Yeh
Of all the blossoms in life's garden, friendship is the most fragrant.

Thank God for friends, more prized as years increase.
Let all else, if must be, cease.
But, Lord of Life, I pray on me bestow
The gift of friends
To share the way I go.
--Thomas Curtis Clark
A gentle word
Like summer rain
May soothe the heart
And banish pain.

We are all travellers in the
wilderness of this world,
and the best that we find
in our travels is an honest friend.
--Robert Louis Stevenson
Love is patient.
Love is kind.
It does not envy.
It does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices
with the truth. It always protects,
always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
--1 Corinthians 13
