Found some of my poem books while packing my room this
afternoon...
Here's one to everybody at Club 30.
Friendship is more
than just having someone
to talk to and laugh with.
It is listening,
It is taking a chance
and sharing a part of yourself
with someone else.
It is soemtimes giving
much more than you are getting
but being thankful
that you are there
to help your friend.
Friendship is the belief
that someone else's happiness
is important to your own.
It is knowing that this person
represents something special,
something to be treasured for a lifetime.
You have taught me
all this and more,
simply by being my friend.
