I’d like to capture a rainbow
and stick it in a big box
so that,
anytime you wanted to,
you could reach in and pull out
a piece of sunshine.

No matter where we go or who we become,
never forget who helped us get there.

Sometimes we walk through life,
Not even knowing where to go,
Without a destination, or knowing why,
Or with what kind of purpose…

Sometimes it’s hard to write the words
That you, my dear, should see.
Or say the things that you need to hear,
Or be as I should be.

As I went about my daily routine
a thought came to mind:
You’ve always been a support to me;
something so hard to find.

Be a friend. You don’t need money:
Just a disposition sunny;
Just the wish to help another
Get along some way or other;
Just a kindly hand extended
Out to one who’s unbefriended;

I have a gift, called friends from God
They give me courage
They give me love, reminding me
Of when a flower begins to open
Or a waterfall touches the sea, all
My friends are as beautiful as these.

If I had to pick but one thing
To take across the sea
I think I’d pick a good friend
To go along with me

Someone who concerned with every thing you do,
Someone to call upon during good and bad times,
Someone who understands whatever you do,

1. Open Up.
Be honest, open and candid (tempered with kindness).
2. Stand Up.
For your friends, whether they are there or not.
