*TRUE FRIENDSHIP*
Always talk your problems through no matter how small they may appear
Always have faith and trust in that friend as you would have faith
and trust in yourself.
Always trust in that friend above all others as you would
want that friend to trust in you.
Always hold that friends pain and grief close to your own heart
No matter the pain to yourself.
Always hold that friend when their pain and grief closes in around them
taking that pain and grief unto yourself.
Never believe things told to you by another
without first consulting that friend.
Never pass judgment on that friend until you have
first heard their side of the story.
Never lose your faith in that friend
because once lost that path becomes closed.
Never turn away from that friend when they are
despairing, hurting or in need.
Never let others influence your feelings or thoughts towards that friend
without first recalling why you love that friend in the first place.
Sometimes the hardest thing is to forgive and forget.
But the more one does it....the easier it should become.
Do you qualify as someone’s friend?
