Consideration
Thanks seems like such a small word when it's suppose to mean so much.
After all with your kindness it was my heart that you touched.
Friends are so easy to come by when everything is happy and gay.
Numerous are the people who surround you when all you do is laugh and play.
Your true friends will only be discovered when circumstances get you down.
For they will stand right beside you even though you bear a constant frown.
Even though it is not pleasant they will give thought to the pain you are in.
That alone is enough to justify them as your dear friend.
In your time of need your real friends will be right there.
Letting you know with each encouraging word that they care.
True friends never sympathize but empathize instead.
That way they can relate exactly to the thoughts running through your head.
As barren as your pocketbook is your friends tend to be too.
That's why love enters your heart as they offer what little they have to you.
If by chance positions were reversed and they were in your place.
you'd definately do the same for them without a moment to waste.
For that's what makes a friendship so dear to you in your heart.
Always knowing the other person cares and will also do their part.
So I just wrote to say thank you and let you know what you mean to me.
True, dear and caring friends may we always be.
