The cost of friendship...none. The value thereof...priceless.

Free



One would be hard-pressed
To find anything that is truly “free.”

There is always a cost,
A stipulation, or condition
That must be met.

Custom calls for an offer good
On certain days, for a limited time,
Or only while supplies last.

The value of most free things
Is often less than the price
One pays to fulfill its terms.

True friendship is free to give,
And its value is priceless to
Those who receive it.

Imagine that…

Outstanding ponderation on human related matters of feelings, emotions and living.. The closing lines are pure dews of grace from from the rainbow of wisdom.

FRIENDS ARE ALCHEMISTS THAT MAKE GOLD FROM THE FOAM OF WAVES ON THE SHORE OF THEIR GRACE, AND MAKE DIAMOND FROM CONDENSED VAPORS OF THE RAINBOW OF LOVE. FRIENDS ARE THE PILLARS OF PEACE. – Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

In admiration,

yes, some good points are made here-even friendship has a cost but it is well worth paying as time and companionship are priceless
