Friend

Not always agreeing.
When troubles come - we confide,
Heart to heart - we are seeing.

Sharing life then finally dying.

Hiding the shame we both bear.
My friend�
My friend for life.

THE DEFINITION OF A FRIEND Robert Sexton
Your smile, my friend,
reflects your heart;
and in that mirror
I can see
the ways in which
you've graced my life:
the peace and joy
you've given me.
The Definition Of A Friend
From day to day, nothing so surely defines the quality of our lives as the unwavering affirmation in the eyes, in the voices, in the presence of our friends. It is through them that we truly begin to know ourselves; and it is their affection that assures our dignity and worth.
- Robert Sexton
It says:
"Be very careful if you make a woman
cry, because God counts her tears. The woman
came out of a man's rib. Not from his feet to be
walked on. Not from his head to be superior, but
from the side to be equal. Under the arm to be
protected, and next to the heart to be loved."
"I can do all things in Him who strengthens me."
The love of God is like the ocean, you can see its beginning, but not its end.
ANGELS EXIST but sometimes, they don't all have wings,
we call them FRIENDS.
