A friend is a person to laugh and cry with. An inspiration, Someone who lends a helping hand. Though friends may not be forever, and they may not endup together, the memories of a true friendship will last forever. A friend is not a shadow nor a servant, But someone who holds, A piece of a person in his heart. Someone who shares a smile, Someone who brightens up your day. What makes a person a friend is by saying your love will stay. --------------------------------------------------- I loved it! Hope so do you.

Hi Ana, It sure is. The sad part to me is some firiends are only around a short time in your life. But thst is how life is and the memories last forever. Myrna

Hi Myrna. I think that, than the lengh of a friendship is more important the trace it leaves in your heart and memory. I'm talking about the bright side of the moon here, of caurse LOL. And one more thing; I agree with you, is preferable, a great friendship last longer then shorter. :-)

Ana, Well said. But the meaning of friendship is also subjected the circumstantial change. You will know what I mean. Lets say, how many of your primary school or childhood friends do you still consider as contacting friends at this time (your age) How many friends you make at your present circumstance (your present dwelling) But, irony to that, at today converging trend, we can have friends in an instance even at the other end of the globe. This is e-friendship :)

HI Ana Maria, Thanks for sharing that very nice poem with all of us! It is very lovely. Marilyn
