Awesome

I look for many qualities in people Being the best version of yourself is number one Having someone who understands you is a soothing thought Without doubt or judgment, because friends are there for us when we need them A wise bear says a lot about friendship : “If you live to be a 100, I want to live to be a 100 minus one day so I never have to live without you.” ( Winnie-the-Pooh) Friendship is the greatest joy of life Hydrangeas, roses, carnations and chrysanthemum Thank you for the flowers, light and warm greetings God's peace, is the greeting they bring from my friend 11.06.2018 Qualities You Admire in Friends : Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Carolyn Devonshire English is my second language Copyright © All Rights Reserved 5th place in the contest

I think it is quite unique that no one is the same. I find it the same way with flowers. To compare them is to say each in their own way is beautiful. I think this is a hit.

Anne-Lise, if you were a flower, you would be the most beautiful rose in a bouquet of flowers mad to adorn the coronation table of a soon to be crowned pageant queen. I love your poem. Congratulations.
