TO MY FRIEND

I would like to say, Thanks for being my friend.

A single rose can be my garden… a single friend, my world.  Leo Buscaglia

But oh! the blessing it is to have a friend to whom one can speak fearlessly on any subject; with whom one’s deepest as well as one’s most foolish thoughts come out simply and safely.  Oh, the comfort – the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person – having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away. ~Dinah Craik, A Life for a Life, 1859

If you’re alone, I’ll be your shadow.  If you want to cry, I’ll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I’ll be your pillow.  If you need to be happy, I’ll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I’ll just be me.  ~Author Unknown

A friend accepts us as we are yet helps us to be what we should. ~Author Unknown

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.  ~Robert Brault

A true friend unbosoms freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably.  ~William Penn

Friends are like walls.  Sometimes you lean on them, and sometimes it’s good just knowing they are there.  ~Author Unknown
