WHAT IS A FRIEND?
A friend is a person of great understanding
Who shares all our hopes and our schemes ,
A companion who listens with infinite patience
To all of our plans and our dreams,
A true friend can make all our cares melt away
With the touch of a hand or a smile.
And with calm reassurance make everything brighter,
And life always seems more worthwhile -
A friend shares so many bright moments of laughter
At even the tiniest thing
What memorable hours of light-hearted gladness
And pleasure this sharing can bring!
A friend is a cherished and precious possession
Who knows all our hopes and our fears ,
And someone to treasure deep down in our hearts
With a closeness that grows through the years!
Katerine Davis
