A SPECIAL GIFT

Friendship is a special gift given to us all.
The smile of a friend is sunlight on a cloudy day,
and every smile given to a friend is returned.
A friend is one whom you can talk to,
and listen to without judging.
A friend doesn't ignore your faults
but accepts them as a part of you.
A friend is a shoulder to lean on
when you need support,
a pat on the back when you do well,
and a sympathetic ear when you fail.
A friend is a person you can laugh
with about everything,
you can cry with without shame,
and whom you trust completely.
A friend is a partner in life and a part of you always.
