A friend is someone who listens to you without judging
Right or wrong, good or bad.
When you're feeling low about yourself
They gently help you to see the right perspective again.
A friend reminds you of all the positive qualities
You forgot you had.
 
When you share with a friend
Decisions are easier to make and problems seem less serious.
A friend gives you the precious gift of time
To talk about new ideas and desires
Of reaching goals and accomplishing dreams.
A friend loves you for who you are not what you do.
Feeling so accepted makes you want to try harder
And set higher goals
And accomplish more.
 
Through close friendship you learn the fine art of giving.
You begin to care more deeply and enjoy sharing.
Seeing the happiness you bring to another person
Increases your ability to love.
Wherever you may go in life a friend will always be with you.
