This story is dedicated to my two favorite Sams, Sam O. (a guy) and Sam W. (a girl) , two true friends. Happy Birthday Sam O!



A friend is a special person.
They know everything about you
But care only for the good.
They console you even if
You're so miserable that
You don't want to be consoled,
And let you do the same for them.
They support you in good times and bad.
A friend lends you money
But doesn't expect it back,
Even though they know you'll pay them.
Good friends argue,
And make up the next day.
A friend cares about your feelings,
But will never lie outright
Just to support your ego.
A friend encourages you
In all things good,
But will protect you
From all things bad.
True friends are rare,
So if you find one
Hold on tight with both hands.

"For friendship is nothing more then the agreement of all things human and divine in benevolence and charity; I certainly rather think that nothing better has been given to human beings by the immortal beings, with the exception of wisdom."
Cicero
