* I only ask to be free. The butterflies are free *

A friend is like a shade tree
Beside a summer way.

A friend is like the sunshine
That makes a perfect day.

A friend is like a flower
That’s worn close to the heart.

A friend is like a treasure
With which one will not part.

“Friendship happens in that special moment
when someone reaches out to another,
trusts, comforts, believes in another,
and makes a special difference
that no one else can make”.

People need people and friends need friends
And we all need love, for a full life depends

Not on vast riches or great acclaim
Not on success or worldly fame

But just in knowing that someone cares
And holds us close in their thoughts and prayers

For only the knowledge that we’re understood
Makes everyday living, feel wonderfully good

And we rob ourselves of life’s greatest need
When we “lock up our hearts” and fail to heed

The outstretched hand reaching to find
A kindred spirit whose heart and mind

Are lonely and longing to somehow share
Our joys and our sorrows and to make us aware

That life’s completeness and richness depends
On the things we share with our loved ones and friends
