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.

An excerpt from
The Heart of a Teacher
by Paula Fox
.
The child arrives like a mystery box…
with puzzle pieces inside
some of the pieces are broken or missing…
and others just seem to hide
~*~
But the HEART of a teacher can sort them out…
and help the child to see
the potential for greatness he has within…
a picture of what he can be
~*~
Her goal isn’t just to teach knowledge…
by filling the box with more parts
it’s putting the pieces together…
and creating a work of art
~*~
The process is painfully slow at times…
some need more help than others
each child is a work in progress…
with assorted shapes and colors
~*~
First she creates a classroom…
where the child can feel safe in school
where he never feels threatened or afraid to try…
and kindness is always the rule
~*~
She knows that a child
can achieve much more
when he feels secure inside
when he’s valued and loved…
and believes in himself
…and he has a sense of pride
~*~
She models and teaches good character…
and respect for one another

The father, a well digger,
Strong was he,
And as loving and kind
As a father could be.
~*~
And Mary his daughter,
Just five years old,
Was very much dearer
Than millions in gold.
~*~
To Mary her father
Was big, grand and nice,
So each had a treasure,
Beyond any price.
~*~
One day to the well,
Little Mary was sent
To take daddy’s lunch,
How gladly she went.

You are the Angel who I cherish,
So dearly in this heart of mine;
The one who makes my day brighter,
By making my whole world shine.
+++
During all the darkest moments,
When my skies turn cloudy and grey,
You’re the one who touches my heart,
And makes everything seem okay.

If I call you friend,
You will always share a piece
of my heart.
I will always pride myself,
To always be true to you.
As much as I need friends,
So must you.
*+*
I will also share a place in your heart,
To be there whenever you need me.
I may not be there in flesh,
But I will always be there in spirit.
*+*
I will cope with your moods,
And try to understand your needs.
*+*

You turned my darkness into light,
You made everything all right.
You picked me up when I was down,
You turned my life around.
If I didn’t have you, what would I be?
A blessing is what you are to me.
(*)
When I needed you the most, you were there,
Even if it seemed like you didn’t care.
When I didn’t think I could make it another day,
You chased all my doubts away.
If I didn’t have you, what would I be?
A treasure is what you are to me.
