Friendship

Friendship is the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring all right out just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful friendly hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping and, with a breath of comfort, blow the rest away.
For most children friendships are a vital part of life. As children transition to being a teenager friends become even more important. People are always part of our lives. They come in for a reason, or just for a season. Friendships may be of the lasting kind that we treasure all our lives, or may be fleeting friendships that don't really last. Friendships of all shapes, sizes and ages. Acquaintances, friends of convenience, necessary friends. When you were a child, friendship was the main thing in your life. Then, your requirements were very simple. You needed a companion to play with you, someone you could spend time with. As you grew older, your requirements also changed. You looked for something more tangible; you needed a friend to sympathise with you, someone who was on the same wavelength to whom you could open your heart; someone you could confide in with no holds barred.


Friends poetry

Friends smile at you.
They like your face.
They want to be with you
Any old place.

Friends have fun with you.
Friends share
They’re glad when you’re happy---
When you’re sad, they care.

If you’re a friend
Then you care, too.
That’s why your friends
Are glad you’re you!!!
