FRIENDS FOREVER
THE GIFT OF LISTENING...
But you must REALLY listen.
No interrupting, no daydreaming,
no planning your response.
Just listening.
THE GIFT OF AFFECTION...
Be generous with appropriate hugs,
kisses, pats on the back and handholds.
Let these small actions demonstrate the
love you have for family and friends.
THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER...
THE GIFT OF A WRITTEN NOTE...
THE GIFT OF A COMPLIMENT...
THE GIFT OF A FAVOR... THE GIFT OF SOLITUDE... THE GIFT OF A CHEERFUL
If
I could catch a rainbow,
Clip cartoons.
Share articles and funny stories.
Your gift will say,
I love to laugh with you."
It can be a simple
"Thanks for the help" note or a full sonnet.
A brief, handwritten note may be
remembered for a lifetime,
and may even change a life.
A simple and sincere,
"You look great in red,"
"You did a super job" or
"That was a wonderful meal"
can make someone's day.
Every day, go out of your way
to do something kind.
There are times when we want nothing
better than to be left alone.
Be sensitive to those times and give the
gift of solitude to others.
DISPOSITION...
The easiest way to feel good is
to extend a kind word to someone,
really it's not that hard to say,
Hello or Thank You.
Friends are a very rare jewel.
They make you smile and encourage you to succeed.
They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and
they always want to open their hearts to us.
Show your friends how much you care.
I would do it
just for you,
And share with
you its beauty,
on the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain,
you could call your very own,
a place to find serenity,
a place to be alone.
If I could take your troubles,
I would toss them in the sea,
but all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain,
or catch a rainbow fair,
but let me be what I know best
a friend that's always there.
Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND!
I ASKED GOD
I asked for a flower, He gave me a garden.
I asked for a tree, He gave me a forest.
I asked for a river, He gave me an ocean.
I asked for a friend, He gave me "YOU."
