Reaching out in thankfulness

Friends are interesting creatures

We share

A kindness

A love

A joy

Sometimes fear

Sometimes jealousy

Sometimes pain

It takes bravery to be a friend

And a sprinkle of fun and silliness

Friendship - real friendship - requires a certain courage and a patience that doesn’t always come naturally

We try our best

——-

Friendship sometimes needs us to forgive - which is hard

But with great rewards

And good friends make life better

They make us laugh and sing

And for that - I’m thankful

Friendship
