Friends

Friends are the jewels we gather To set in the crown of life, Through their sparkle life shines. They are the silken threads we weave Into the rich tapestry of life, Giving it joy and splendor. On a winter’s day They are the summer’s sun That pierces gloom To chase away clouds of despair. And when we sail stormy waters; As the maelstroms of life Rage and threaten to drag us down, Friends are a harbor of LOVE and PEACE.

How true! Our friends define us to a large degree. Our true overall value in this life can be weighed in the teardrops of our friends and family at our passing:) Congrats on making the first round with this lovely piece Sylvia and good luck!

I like this one too. Friends are important they take the place of the nasty family members you can't get rid of.
