Friendship

Each of us has a hidden place
Somewhere deep within ourselves;
A place where we go to get away,
To think things through,
To be alone, to be ourselves.

This unique place, where we confront our deepest feelings,
Becomes a storehouse of all our hopes,
All our needs, all our dreams,
And even our unspoken fears.
It encompasses the essence of who we are and what we want to be.

But now and then, whether by chance or design,
Someone discovers a way into that place we thought was ours alone.
And we allow that person to see, to feel and to share
All the reason, all the uncertainty
And all the emotion we've stored up there.

That person adds new perspective to our hidden realm,
Then quietly settles down in his own corner of our special place,
Where a bit of himself will stay forever.
And we call that person a friend.

~Carol Elaine Faivre-Scott

To Some People, a friend
is practically anyone they know.
To me, friendship means
a much closer relationship,
one in which you take the time
to really understand each other.

A friend is someone you trust enough
to share a part of yourself
the rest of the world may never see.
That kind of friendship
doesn't come along every day...
but that's the way it should be.

When it comes to friends,
it's quality, not quantity,
that counts.
And with you, I know
I have the very best.

~Linda Barnes

A person is only complete
when she has a true friend
to understand her
to share all her
passions and sorrows with
and to stand by her
throughout her life

~Susan Polis Schutz

When you are sad
I will dry your tears
When you are scared
I will comfort your fears
When you are worried
I will give you hope
When you are confused
I will help you cope
and when you are lost
and can't see the light
I shall be your beacon
shining ever so bright
This is my oath
I pledge till the end
Why you may ask
because you're a friend.

In a friendship
We're free to expose,
Parts of ourselves
Nobody else knows.
But the thing that sustains it
And sets it apart,
Is not something spoken
It's a bond of the heart.
True friends are rare
In a lifetime two or three,
I'm so glad it happened
Between you and me!
