A Friend Is One of the Best Things in Life

A Friend Is
One of the Best Things in Life

Though we don't see each other very much nor do we write to each
other very much
nor do we phone each other very much
I always know that,
at any time
I could call,
write or see you
and everything would be
exactly the same
You would understand everything
I am saying
and everything that I am thinking

Our friendship does not depend
on being together
It is deeper than that
Our closeness is something inside of us
that is always there ready to be
shared with each other
whenever the need arises

It is such a comfortable and warm
feeling to know that we have such
a lifetime friendship
I will always treasure our friendship
