  When I was little,

I used to believe in the concept of one best friend,

and then I started to become a  woman.

And then I found out that if you allow your heart to open up,

God would show you the best in many friends.

One friend is needed when you're going through things with your lover.

Another friend is needed when you're going through things 

with your mom, dad, sister or brother.

Another will sit beside you in the bleachers

as you delight in your children and their  activities.

Another when you want to shop, share, heal, hurt, joke, or just be.

One friend will say, "Let's cry together,"

another, "Let's fight together,"

another, "Let's walk away together."

One  friend will meet your spiritual need,

another your shoe fetish,

another your love for movies,

another will be with you in your season of confusion,

another will be  your clarifier,

another the wind beneath your wings.

But whatever their assignment in your life,

on whatever the occasion, on whatever the day,

wherever you need them to meet you

with their gym shoes on and hair pulled  back,

 or to hold you back from making a complete fool of yourself ..

those are your best friends.

It may all be wrapped up in one woman,

but for many, it's wrapped up in several..

one from 7th grade, one from high school,

several from the college years, a couple from old jobs,

on some days your mother, on some days your neighbor,

on others, your sisters, and on some days, your daughters.

So whether they've been your friend for 20 minutes or 20 years,

give thanks for the gifts they give you each and every day.

Sometimes in life, you find a special friend;

Someone who changes your life just by being part of it.

Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop;

Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world.

Someone who convinces you that there really is

an unlocked doorjust waiting for you to open it.

This is Forever Friendship. 

A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg

even though she knows that you are slightly cracked.

Bernard Meltzer

“The best kind of friend

is the kind you can

sit on a porch swing with,

never say a word,

 then walk away feeling like

it was the best conversation

that you ever had.”
