A smile,
A soothing voice,
A twinkle in your eye,
Treasures held deep within your heart.
A kind word,
A pat on the back,
An embracing hug,
A caring thought.
No criticisms,
No judgments,
Secrets shared,
Confidence held within.
Friendships flourish,
Laughter shared,
As time goes on,
A closeness grows.
These are qualities of lasting friendships,
A tight bond is born,
Good times shared, as well as bad,
Lifetime memories created.
