What is a friend?

A friend is one of the nicest things you can
have, and one of the best things you can be.
A friend is a living treasure, and if you
have one, you have one of the most valuable
gifts in life.

A friend is the one who will always be
beside you, through all the laughter, and
through each and every tear. A friend is
the one thing you can always rely on; the
someone you can always open up to; the one
wonderful person who always believes in you
in a way that no one else seems to.
A friend is a sanctuary.
A friend is a smile.

A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter where you are, now matter how close
or far apart you may be. A friend is someone
who is always there and will always~always~
care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.

A friend is the one door that is always open.
A friend is the one whom you can give your key.
A friend is one of the nicest things you can have,
and one of the best things
you can be.
