FRIENDS!!!!
** Friends, you and me....
** you brought another friend...
** and then there were 3...
** we started our group...
** Our circle of friends...
** and like that circle...
** there is no beginning or end.
"Around The Corner"
Around the corner I have some friends
In these great citys that have no ends,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on, And before I know it,
a year is gone And I never see my old friends faces,
For life is full of swift and terrible races,
They know I like them just as well
As in the days when we rang each others bell,
We were younger then.
And now we are busy.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say "I will call on them"
"Just to show that I'm thinking of them"
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And distance between us
grows and grows. Around the corner!-yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir--"
"one of your friends died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
If you love someone,tell them. Remember always to say
what you mean. Never be afraid to express yourself. Take this
opportunity to tell someone what they mean to you. Seize
the day and have no regrets.
Most importantly, stay close to your friends and family,
for they have helped make you the person you are today
and are what it's all about anyway.
> YESTERDAY IS A MEMORY. TOMORROW IS A VISION. ENJOY TODAY!

FRIENDS -- WHO ARE THEY?
There is a difference between being an acquaintance and being a friend.
First, an acquaintence is someone whose name you know, who you see every now and then, who you probably have
something in common with and who you feel comfortable around.
It's a person that you can invite to your home and share things with.But they are people who you wouldn't share your life with, whose actions sometimes you don't understand because you don't know enough about them.
On the other hand, a friend is someone you love.Not that you are "in love" with them, but you care about them and you think about them when they are not there.The people you are reminded of when you see something they might like, and you know this because you know them so well.
They are the people whose pictures you have and whose faces are in your head regardless.They are the people you see in your mind when you hear a song on the radio because they made you go up to the person they like and ask them to dance with them, or maybe YOU danced with them, maybe they stepped on your toes,or just put their head on your shoulder.They are the people you feel safe around because you know they care about you.
They call just to see how you are doing, because a friend doesn't need an excuse.They tell you the truth,the first time, and you do the same.You know that if you have a problem, they are there to listen.
They are the people who won't laugh at you or hurt you, and if they do hurt you they try hard to make it up to you.They are the people you love,regardless of whether you realize it.They are the people you cried with when you got rejected from colleges and during the last song at prom and at graduation.They are the people that when you hug them, you don't think about how long to hug and who's going to be the first one to let go.Maybe they are the people that hold the rings at your wedding, or maybe they are
the people that give you away at your wedding, or maybe they are the people you marry.
They are certainly the people that cry at your wedding because they are happy or because they are proud or because they are so in love.They are the people who stop you from making mistakes and help you when you do.They are the people whose hand you can hold, or you can hug or give them a kiss and not have it be awkward because they understand the things you do and they love you for them.
They stick with you and stand by you.They hold your hand.They watch you live and you watch them live and you learn from them. Your life is not the same without them.These are your friends.
How many do you have?
