Friends know

A kind being stands out.
We recognize the warm intent.
Friendship always a matter of the heart.
Souls connecting at the root.

Dear Line, Every line of your poem to me is just filled with kindness. I'd love to print a copy for my best friend Megan. We were born one day apart from each other 60 years ago, and still are best friends. I'm so glad to have found this poem. Also, I love the donkey's sweet eyes.
