Friends by Veronica Ann Cech

Friendship . . .. . .
is you.. . .
is love.. . .
is shared.. . .
is forgiving.. . .
is understanding.. . .
is shared secrets.. . .
heals many hurts.. . .
is not judgmental.. . .
is shared laughter.. . .
is slow and steady.. . .
can be angry at times.. . .
is dependable and true.. . .
is more precious than silver or gold.. . .
is meant to be savored like fine wine.. . .
is not perfect, much like we are not perfect.. . .
does not hold grudges or demand perfection.. . .
makes all the wrong things in life, right somehow.. . .
is meant to be gulped like lemonade on a hot summer day.. . .
is always there, through times of trial, happy times and hard times.. . .
just happens, but once discovered, needs to be tended like a beautiful garden.. .
is a road to be traveled slowly, remembering the sights and sounds.. . .
is strength when you are too weak to notice its there.. . .
is a cherished moment of mutual understanding.. . .
reaches into your heart and grabs a firm hold.. . .
is a refreshing rain on a hot day.. . .
is sunshine through the clouds.. . .
cannot be forced or induced.. . .
is relaxed and comfortable.. . .
is a shoulder to lean on.. . .
is an ear to whine to.. . .
gets better with age.. . .
is shared tears.. . .
is shared pain.. . .
is shared joy.. . .
is shared.. . .
is love.. . .
is you.
