THE FRIENDSHIP

"True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost." "Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.""My friends are my estate.""A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out." "A friend is one who walks in when others walk out" "A friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else."

Friendship Poems

Friendship isn't always easily described. The Eskimos, they say, have a hundred different words for snow. Unfortunately, the English language isn't quite as innovative, though it has vast opportunities to differentiate meaning. Certainly, Love is one of those opportunities. And so, too, is Friendship.
Instead of different words, however, we're stuck with simple adjectives. Close friend. Best friend. Childhood friend. Intimate friend. Trusted friend. Beloved friend. But whether you use adjectives or different words, few could deny the nearly infinite meaning in such a simple word.

Friends are special people. We can't pick our family, and we're sorely limited in the number of them at any rate. Society and mores (and often our own conscience) dictate we select a single mate. But our friends can be as diverse and infinite as the adjectives we choose.
