Friendship

And a youth said, "Speak to us of Friendship."

Your friend is your needs answered.

He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.

And he is your board and your fireside.

For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.

When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the "nay" in your own mind, nor do you withhold the "ay."

And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart;

For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.
When you part from your friend, you grieve not;

For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.

And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught.

And let your best be for your friend.

If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also.

For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill?

Seek him always with hours to live.

For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness.

And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.

For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

well sending a special hug today for Carol.....

"A friend is someone who can see the truth and pain in you even when you are fooling everyone else."

Colin, I have a dear 'friend' who meets the above criteria...he is also my brother .xx

In canada they have a saying
a man to ride the river with
in your case a girl of course
simpley put
could you trust them with your life
would they defend you without
question
would they give their life for you
if you are covinced of the
above--then you have a
friend worth his/her weight in gold
but--beware the hides of march

Thank you every one for your replies. Has anyone else got a friendship poem or quote to share with us?

Whether it be months or miles..... that seperate friends.

A true friend will always be close to the heart.....
picking up the *thread* as if never apart.

A true friend is someone who knows
the song that is in your heart,
and can sing it back to you when
you've forgotten the words.
