“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” ~ Lao Tzu
You may not see me now
But you know that I am here.
You can feel me in your heart
As you enter each new day.
I will always be there for you
because I am your friend.
because I am your friend.
Someone to share the bad times
As well as the good.
I make no judgments by what you say
I just listen with my heart and
Hope to be of help in anyway I can.
For now I hope I give you strength.
For now I hope I give you strength.
I will be there for you,
whenever you need me.
whenever you need me.
And always please remember
I really am your friend!
~ Coreen

True friendship isn't seen with the eyes, it is felt with the heart.
When there is trust, understanding, loyalty, and sharing.
True friendship is a rare feeling, but when it is found
It has profound impact on our well-being, strength, and character.
True friendship does not need elaborate gifts
Or spectacular events in order to be valuable or valued.
To ensure long-lasting quality and satisfaction,
True friendship only needs a few key ingredients:
Undying loyalty, unmatched understanding, unsurpassed trust,
Deep, soulful connection, and endless sharing.
These ingredients, mixed with personality and a sense of humor,
Can make a friendship last a lifetime!

I'll Be Here
I cannot ease your aching heart,
I cannot ease your aching heart,
Nor take your pain away;
But let me stay and take your hand
And walk with you today.
I'll listen when you need to talk,
I'll wipe away your tears;
I'll share your worries when they come,
I'll help you face your fears.
I'm here and I will stand by you,
On each hill you have to climb;
So take my hand, let's face the world...
And live just one day at a time.
You're not alone, for I'm still here,
I'll go that extra mile;
And when your grief is easier,
I'll help you learn to smile!
