A gardner may view a friend
as a vine that twines itself
around us and hides the rough
places in our personalities
under its lush growth.
A nurse may reckon a friend
as a soothing salve that heals the
scrapes and lacerations of life.
A dealer in fine gems and
jewelry might liken friendship to a
strong link in the golden chain
of life's experiences.
Yet the definition of
friendship with which all would agree
would be...a friend loves at all times.
