…OF A FRIEND

LIFE would be half empty, and surely, everything would mean less: that is without a friend. Sometimes, people think that success is merely having a huge paycheck to boast about. A car, a house or mostly anything that money can buy. One might think that having a glamorous living could make a person complete, not knowing that sadness could be a loud presence. Without a friend.

With a friend that remains true, a person can stand up to life’s hardest turmoil. In this ever changing world, one can sing a happy song, not thinking about what tomorrow may bring. And this tune can be heard deep within a person’s soul.

So, thank him for accepting you as who you are. For erasing your numerous frustrations and qualms, always encouraging you to laugh about life and joking about your face’s biggest frown. Thank him for the countless cheers and inspiration. He believed in your capability when almost everyone doubted you. When cruelty of life almost brought you down.

Days shall pass and on your own, you shall be. But the assurance and smiles that strengthened your vision will forever remain. Time may drift away, but it will never erase the laughs, tears, wounds from falling down and getting up. It will be likened to a carving in the old oak tree. You’ll remember it in your heart, knowing that no riches could ever add up to the miracle of finding a friend.
