A Rare Find

   A wild animal could mutilate and hurt you physically,

but a malicious friend could destroy you emotionally

and lead you down a corrupt path.

One of the most beautiful qualities of a friend  

Is one who knows you and still loves you

despite all your excesses and indulgences.

In everyone’s life there comes a times when our inner flame stops burning, 

and then explodes into a glowing encounter when we reconnect with one another.

An exceptional friend is someone who surrounds us with their inner spirit and gives

us total freedom to be ourselves.

When we honestly ask ourselves which people in our lives

mean the most to us, we often find that it’s those 

who instead of giving us suggestions,

choose to share our pain and touch our inner morale

with a warm and affectionate hand.

Be chivalrous to all, but only intimate with a few

before you confide in them.  

A true friend continues to be there for you

during life’s challenging and frustrating times.

A genuine friend is indeed a rare find.
