A Window to a Friend Don't know how it happens, or when it will begin... You leave the window open, and someone comes in. You enter a world of fantasy, go places you've never been. Spending more and more time enjoying your new friends... You're glad that window was open, you're glad that they stepped in... Like the window you open your heart, letting them come in... They enter taking a part, making you laugh, giving a smile. Taking your reality into fantasy if only for a little while... I'm glad my window was open so happy you stepped in. But most of all... I make another friend! ~source unknown~
WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES If I could be you and you could be me for just one hour, If we could find a way to get inside each other's mind, If you could see you through my eyes instead of your ego, I believe you'd be surprised to see that you'd been blind. Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse, walk a mile in my shoes. Well, your whole world you see around you is just a reflection, And the law of common says you're gonna reap just what you sow. Yes, you will So unless you've lived a life of total perfection, Mm-mm, you'd better be careful of every stone that you should throw, Yeah, yeah Yet we spend the day throwin' stones at one another 'Cause I don't think or wear my hair same way you do Well, I may be common people but I'm your brother And when you strike out and try to hurt me it's a-hurtin' you, Lord, have mercy Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse, walk a mile in my shoes There are people on reservations and out in the ghettos And brother, there, but for the grace of God, go you and I Yeah, yeah If I only had the wings of little angels don'tcha you know I'd fly To the top of the mountain and then I'd cry? Yeah Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes Hey, before you abuse, criticize and accuse, better walk a mile in my shoes Try an' watch whatcha doin' Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes Oh, before you abuse, criticize and accuse, walk a mile in my shoes, Yeah Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes. Hey, before you abuse, criticize and accuse, walk a mile in my shoes. [Amen]
A friend is like a flower, a rose to be exact, Or maybe like a brand new gate that never comes unlatched. A friend is like an owl, both beautiful and wise. Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost, whose spirit never dies. A friend is like those blades of grass you can never mow, standing straight, tall, and proud in a perfect little row. A friend is like a heart that goes strong until the end. Where would we be in this world if we didn't have a friend. - Diana Mitev
THANK YOU Thank you for sending me the things to make me think, laugh or smile. For when I am down it makes the hurt go away if only for a while. That is why friends are so dear, just because they love you. And you always know they're there to lend a listening ear and to take away the blues. It is also why I thank my God... for the friends he sends my way For He knows we all need some cheer and the support each and every day. So to my wonderful friends I send a rose to you. Because I know that you all are my friends through and true. In each of us is a special gift for if we love one another It can surpass so much pain and fear And give help and love to others. So take this rose my friend, and hold it close to your heart And always remember me, for we will never be apart...
LIFE Life without friendship.... is like the dawn without the sun. Life without friendship.... is like the sky without the moon when the evening has begun. Life without friendship.... is like a rose without rain. Life without friendship.... just wouldn't be the same. Life without friendship.... is like a ship without a sea. life without friendship.... just could not be without a friend like you for me.

I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out. I love you for putting your hand into my heaped up heart and passing over all the foolish and frivolous and weak things that you can't help dimly seeing there, and for drawing out into the light all the beautiful radiant belongings that no one else had looked quite far enough to find. I love you for ignoring the possibilities of the fool and weakling in me, and for laying firm hold on the possibilities of the good in me. I love you for closing your ears to the discords in me, and for adding to the music in me by worshipful listening. I love you because you are helping me to make of the timber of my life not a tavern, but a temple, and of the words of my every day not a reproach, but a song. I love you because you have done more than any creed could have done to make me happy. you have done it without a touch, without a word, without a sign. You have done it first by being yourself. After all, perhpas this is what being a friend means.
