Net Miles Of Smiles

There’s a recipe for friendship that’s old but still true
It’s one that never fails, and I’d like to share it with you.

***

First, you need someone who accepts you as you are,
Someone who doesn’t need you to be some kind of major star.

***

Someone who’ll cry with you and share your deepest pain,
Someone who’ll lift you till you can stand again.

***

Someone who finds your jokes funny and laughs to show it.

Someone who really likes you, and lets you know it.

***

Someone you’re glad you have all the years through.
This recipe for friendship can be found in you.

***

I’ll never find another friend to take the place of you.
No one will ever touch my world exactly like you do.

***

No one who’s quite so thoughtful, no one I cherish so.
No one will mean so much to me, I just wanted you to know!

*

Pass this on to such a friend!
