"Real Friendship" by Angela Heppner
A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself
and doesn't feel even the least bit weird shutting your
'beer/Pepsi drawer' with her foot!
A simple friend has never seen you cry.
A real friend's shoulder is soggy from your tears..
A simple friend doesn't know your parents' first names.
A real friend has their phone numbers
in his address book.
A simple friend brings a bottle of wine to your party.
A real friend comes early to help you cook and
stays late to help you clean.
A simple friend hates it when you call after
they've gone to bed.
A real friend asks you why you took so long to
call.
A simple friend seeks to talk with you about your
problems.
A real friend seeks to help you with your problems.
A simple friend wonders about your romantic
history.
A real friend could blackmail you with it!
A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when
you have an argument.
A real friend calls you after you had a fight.
A simple friend expects you to always be there for
them.
A real friend expects to always be there for you!
"If you wish for a genuine, kind, loving, trustworthy and supportive friend, then you must be one yourself. Treasure the friendships in your life, and lead by example. Then look in the mirror and smile. Be content with the fact that you gave what you wished for."~ "Angel"a ~
"A good friend loves you when you forget how to love yourself."~ "Angel"a ~
A friend can stand back and let you fall,
Pick you back up when you need to stand tall,
Not be "offended" when you happen to lash out,
Love you unconditionally without a doubt.
Stare at you point blank and say "wake up!"
Give you the larger rather than the smaller cup,
Run a warm bath and scrub your back,
Never taking anything said as a personal attack.
Take a break from you when they know it's needed,
Help you to discover that which is deeply seeded,
Assist in teaching you a good hard lesson,
Defend and protect you, not allowing any messin'.
Be okay with you not hearing their truths,
Give credit when credit is due,
Say, feel, act, be, see, show the real deal,
Cuz they know what they have with you is "real."
