How Many Friends Do You Have?
|
Think about it...
The old man turned to me and asked, "How many friends have you?" Why
10 or 20 friends... I have plenty, and I named off just a few.
He rose quite slow with effort and sadly shook his head "A lucky child you
are to have so many friends," he said.
"But think of what you're saying, there is so much that you do not
even know who to name." A friend is not just someone to whom you say
'Hello'
A friend is a tender shoulder on which to softly cry on... a well, to pour your
troubles down... and of course, raise your spirits high.
A friend is a hand to pull you up from darkness and despair... When all your
other "so called" friends have helped to put you there.
A true friend is an ally who can't be moved or bought... a voice to keep your
name alive, when others have forgotten.
But most of all, a friend is a heart... a very strong and sturdy wall for from
the hearts of friends there comes the greatest love of all!!!
So think of what I've spoken for every word is true and answer once again my
child, "How many friends have you?"
And then he stood and faced me awaiting my reply. Softly I answered, "If
lucky... one... I HAVE YOU!!!"
Pass this on and let your friends know that you care!!!
A Friend Is Always Special Because Friends Love You Because You Are You! |
