Friends Forever!


        "Will you be my friend, my friend of friends,
        beyond every one, everything,
        forever and forever?"


        "Don't walk before me,
        I may not follow,
        Don't walk behind me,
        I may not lead,
        Just walk beside me and be my friend"
        -Albert Camus-


        "I want someone to laugh with me,
        someone to be grave with me,
        someone to please me and help
        my discrimination with his or her own
        remark, and at times, no doubt, to admire
        my acuteness and penetration."
        -Robert Burns-

        Because you're a friend,
        my heart sings with joy,
        my soul dances with love,
        my spirit exalts in ecstasy...

        You're the rainbow after the rain
        You're the smile when I'm in pain
        When I'm crippled, you lend a hand
        I'm so blessed, you are my friend.

        YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND
        James Taylor
