ABC of friendship.☺♥

A friend does most of these:
Accept you as you are.
Believes in you.
Calls you just to say "Hi!"
Doesn't give up on you!
Envisions the whole of you.
Forgives your mistakes.
Gives unconditionally.
Helps you.
Invites you over.
Just "be" with you.
Keeps you close at heart.
Loves you for who you are.
Makes a difference in your life.
Never judges.
Offers support.
Pics you are.
Quiets your fears.
Raises your spirits.
Says nice things about you.
Tells you the truth when you need to hear it.
Understands you.
Values you.
Works beside you.
X-plains things don't understand.
Yells when you won't listen.
Zaps you back to reality.


"Love is blind, friendship closed its eyes."
"A friend in need is a friend is a friend indeed."
"Books and friends should be few but good."
"Make new friends, keep the old, one is silver, the other is gold."
