Best Friends

Best friends can communicate without speaking Have no fear of their secrets leaking Know you are sad without being told Are far rarer and treasured above pure gold You live in their heart, and they in you As each new day starts, you know they feel it too Even if seperated by years or many miles You can sooth each other's tears or bring a smile A best friend sees, beyond your skin And know what there, lies within Your hopes, your dreams, the other things Others miss, without even wondering They feel your joy and also your pain No greater friend could you hope to gain Than one who'll be there, through it all Than one who'll answer, when you call ©Donna Jones

I don't really know what a best friend is except that I married mine. I have made many acquaintances but I don't think that is the same. Love your write anyway. God Bless. D.
