Friends

Being there always,
anytime, anyplace.
Cheerfully caring and kind
Loving without reason
Giving when there is a need
Telling it like it is.
Listening, when
there are no words
Memories shared,
Bringing a Smile
Helping through the pain
Lending a shoulder
when tears flow
Congratulating without envy
Happy without jealousy
Never harsh with words
Or harsh in thoughts,
Maybe far apart, but
Always near in thought.
Remember we are
Friends, for ever.
Waiting for you.
Your friend always.

P. S. Wrote this a long while ago for a friend who was leaving our hometown.

Lovely... I wonder how many of us are thought of like that.. Am I a friend like that ? Do I deserve a friend like that? ...Makes you think of friendship.. and who we are and what it means to be a friend ...some wistfully , will never know the luxury. Another gem, Rashmi

Mother's could probably insert the words "mother and daughter" instead of "Remember we are
Friends, for ever.
I really liked this, it reminded me of my kids.
