FRIENDSHIP Friendship is not merely an acquaintance with someone I have many acquaintances who are not friends Friendship is not casually knowing someone for a long time I have known many people, for many years, But would not choose all of them to be my friends. Friendship is a meeting of minds and spirits profound with no explanation for that bond that grows as we bare our souls open our hearts relax in the comfort of knowing that someone is there for us through trials and triumphs tears and laughter good moods and bad. Friendship is throwing caution to the wind setting aside pretense allowing ourselves to be vulnerable knowing that we'll be accepted for who we are not what we seem to be at first glance. Friendship is agreeing to disagree knowing that though we may not always think alike we need not fear reprisal if we express our true and deepest feelings. Friendship is the ultimate result of honest sharing of true caring. Friendship, TRUE Friendship, Is what I feel When I think of you. by © Barbara A. Duits 1999 Return to Index HomePage
