True Friends

Many will be there when you are on top of the world..

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.  ~Oprah Winfrey

I enjoy making new friends and meeting new people but true friends are hard to find, it takes effort to build a true friendship.

You can speak openly to a true friend on any subject without weighing your thoughts or measuring your words, you just spill them right out. Because a friend will always accept you as you are.

It is true that people change when their surrounding environment changes. But I don't need my friends to change when I change or nods when I nod. I just need them to remember the song in my heart and sing it to me when my memory fails.

When you go off track, true friends never fail to correct you, slap you awake and bring you back to the right path where you belong.

When you are at your lowest, they will always be there to support you.

Even if you were to call them in the middle of the night;

Willingly they will lend you a helping hand if you are in need

or just a listening ear when you are down

or even a crying shoulder.

They would gather the broken pieces and return them back to you in all the right order.  

Old friends are always the best. They know all about you but still likes you for who you are. Never will they judge you or take pleasure in criticizing you.

It takes a long time to grow an old friend. It cannot be developed overnight.

So it is important that you make acquaintances as you progress in life.  Put in your heart and be true to someone whom you think is worth it. Do not take things for granted.  Appreciate every little thing that you have now to avoid the rush when it is too late. 

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.  ~William Shakespeare
