FRIENDS III

BETWEEN FRIEND

A good friend is like a rare
shell washed upon a quiet beach.

One who discovers such a friend
finds a priceless gift from God.

Having a special friend
is a true blessing,
and evidence that you,
too, are special.

Friends help us know
ourselves a little better,
and like ourselves a little more.

Good friendships enlighten
the mind, enrich the heart
and enhance our lives day to day,
and season to season.

Friendship is as necessary as
the sun, as constant as the stars
and as rewarding as spring
after a long winter.

One does not go out into the
world in search of friendship...
friendship is something that
happens naturally,
when the time is right, like
a rainbow in the sky.

The world is as wide as
the sky and beyond,
and as infinite as the twinkling stars..
. that two kindred spirits
should come together in friendship is
surely evidence of divine,
intervention.

It is a fine, divine wind that carries a tiny seed,
just so, and takes it to the very place
where friendship needs to grow.

Friends possess something in their
character that we admire
and wish to add to our own lives.

There is an honesty between
friends that is rare to other
relationships...this is part of the
magic of friendship.

With a good friend, there
is a comfort zone like
none other, where sharing even
silence can be a pleasure.

The struggle to make ends
meet in this busy,
complex world often burdens our
hearts...friendship
helps soften the hard edge of life.

Good friendships contain the
strength of affection that
makes forgiveness instantaneous,
and disappointment forgotten.

Good friendships are not measured
by the frequency of phone calls,
or letters, or visits...the best friendships
are recognized
by the quality of time and feelings shared.

Friendships grow deeper as trust
and cooperation evolve
from shared experiences....
There is a place, between friends,
for seriousness as well
as humour, and countless ways
to show appreciation.
Time passes by and steals
the days and years.

Changes are many, and often...
.they always will be....
but a good friendship lasts a lifetime.

 KEEP SMILING


If at times you feel you want to cry
And life seems such a trial

 Above the clouds theres a bright
blue sky
So make your tears a smile

As you travel on lifes way
With its many ups and downs
Remember its quite true to say
One smile is worth a dozens frowns

 Among the worlds expensive things
 A smile is very cheap
 And when you give a smile away,
 You get one back to keep

 Happiness comes at times to all      
 And sometimes a few tears must fall
 Among the laughter hidden

 So when friends have sadness on their face
 And troubles round them piled
 The world will seem a better place
 And all because you smiled....


FRIENDSHIP (Author Unknown) 

Friendship is a PRICELESS GIFT 
that cannot be bought or sold, 
But it's value is far greater 
than a mountain made of GOLD. 
For gold is cold and lifeless, 
it can neither see nor hear 
AND in the time of trouble 
it is powerless to cheer-- 
it has no ears to listen 
Nor heart to understand, 
It cannot bring you comfort 
or reach out a helping hand 
So when you ask 
GOD FOR A GIFT 
Be thankful if HE sends 
NOT DIAMONDS, PEARLS OR RICHES 
BUT THE LOVE OF REAL TRUE FRIENDS
