The things that make

me smile...

Trust

Is letting those you

Care about

Be who they are.

It is the best gift

That any person can

Give to another.

Trust is allowing

And knowing that

The words spoken

Between friends

Are honest and true .

And whatever is spoken

Between friends

Stays right there.

That is trust.

It is an understanding

A bond.

Unspoken but understood.

It is just looking into the eye

And knowing that person is

A true friend.

Acceptance

Is a beautiful thing.

NO matter what

A friend will not judge you

Or try to change you.

But accept you for

who you are today,

Tomorrow

Just because.

That is a true friend.

Truth

A friend will always tell

you the truth even

if that truth is hard to hear.

Not because they want to hurt you

But because they care.

A true friend will always step

Up and tell you the truth.

Respect

Respect is goes hand

in hand with trust.

It takes time to develop

respect for a person but

once you do, it

is a bond that

is very strong and

beautiful!

A friend will always

respect another friend

and speak well of them

and if they have a concern

they will go to that friend

and no one else.

Being able to count

on those you trust to

be there for you

is beautiful. No matter

how much time goes by

it doesn't matter.

If a friend is in trouble

or just wants to talk,

there is always time

and a friend listens

with their heart

and always seems to

say the right thing

at the right time.

Friendship

is many things

and if one has

a few true friends

in their lifetime,

they should count

themselves

very blessed.

I feel blessed

by the friends

I have

The best

gift is given

freely and

from the heart

Trust, Acceptance

Respect

and friendship

are rare

and true ...
