True Friends
 
It’s really wonderful to have true friends
And it’s never hard to tell who they truly are
Because they want to talk to you and listen
No matter when, where, why or how far.
 
They want to share your tears and joys
Cry when you cry, laugh when you laugh
Share in daily trials and tribulations
Be a part of your life like almost half and half.
 
To have such an unselfish friend
Is a generous blessing from God above
A gift given and received in faith
From someone who shares their love.
 
Cultivate those wonderful friendships
With family as well as people you know
You can plant a garden of friendships
With every word you say and sow.

A very true piece of wisdom expressed in a wonderfully direct manner, Jeanette. Looking back on it, I wish I had realized at the moments I had with them how precious and rare some of those friendships were.............Jerry

Jeanette,
True friends are gifts. They are important to ones being. Without them, we are simply strangers to everyone.
I've found true friends that I've never even seen their face except maybe in photos. And I'm still just as blessed by being able to call them friends as those I've known my entire life.
A great write about a great subject.
Thank you.

Lisa

Good morning. How true this is! I would love to be considered one of your friends Jeanette! I do not get on here very often and am fairly busy. If you use Yahoo Messenger or ICQ I would love to exchange email addresses and chat with you there.
