True Friend

Friendship… is not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything.
A friend should be one in whose understanding and virtue we can equally confide, and whose opinion we can value at once for its justness and its sincerity.

A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small, silly presents every so often – just to save it from drying out completely. A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood. Read more

True Friendship never dies
A true friend is there always
Through good times and bad
Through sorrow and grief
A true friend will never walk away

And such Grace, You will know
Them from the smiles upon their face.
Sent to you from the Lord God above!
