...THE FRIENDSHIP BEAR...

~ A friend is friendly, happy, and playful, too.  A friend doesn't yell at you.  You play with each other all the time.

You try not to fight with a friend.  You help each other when you get hurt...

~ A friend is someone who goes with you in the good times and bad times.'

Good friends are always by your side.  When you're  playing they don't walk away.

They never fight with you because then they aren't your friend.

If you don't have any friends then you aren't friendly.

God bless, friends.

~ A friend is a person who comes and won't judge a flower by its color.

A person who will never give up on you.

A person who will comfort you when storms of tears are in your mind.

A person who will just have some fun with you and give you a good laugh.'

A person that doesn't mind expressing their happy or sad feelings to you.

A friend is YOU! 

A friend is someone we turn to 
When our spirits need a lift, A friend is someone we treasure For our friendship is a gift, A friend is someone who fills our lives With beauty, joy, and grace And makes the world we live in A better and happier place.

There are treasures in life,
but owners are few
Of money and power
to buy things brand new.

Yet you can be wealthy

and feel regal too,

If you will just look

for the treasures in you.

These treasures in life

are not hard to find

When you look in your heart,

your soul, and your mind.

For when you are willing

to share what's within,

Your fervent search

for riches will end.

The joy and the laughter,

the smile that you bring;

The heart unafraid

to love and to sing;

The hand always willing

to help those in need;

Ones quick to reach out,

to labor and fee.

So thank you for sharing

these great gifts inside;

The caring, the cheering,

the hug when one cried.

Thanks for the energy,

encouragement too,

And thank you for sharing

the treasures in you. 

friend forever

Two inseparable friends, akiko and mizuki, met with an accident on their way to Boston City. The following morning, mizuki woke up blind and akiko was still unconscious. Dr. Berkeley was standing at her bedside looking at her health chart and medications with a thoughtful expression on her face. When she saw akiko awake, she beamed at her and asked." How are you feeling today akiko?" akiko tried to put up a brave face and smiled back saying, "absolutely wonderful Doctor. I am very grateful for all that you have done for me. "Dr Berkeley was moved at akiko's deed. All that he could say was, "You are a very brave girl akiko and God will make it up to you in one way or another". While he was moving on to the next patient, akiko called back at him almost pleading, "promise me you won't tell mizuki anything".

"You know I won't do that. Trust me." and walked away.
"Thank you " whispered akiko. she smiled and looked up in prayer " I hope I live up to your ideas...please give me the strength to be able to go through this..Amen"


Months later when mizuki had recuperated considerably, she stopped hanging around with akiko. she felt discouraged and embarrassed to spend time with a disabled person like akiko.
akiko was lonely and disheartened ,since she didn't have any body else other than mizuki to count on. Things went from bad to worse. And one day akiko died in despair. When mizuki was called on her burial, she found a letter waiting for her. Dr Berkeley gave it to her with an expressionless face and said" This is for you mizuki. akiko had asked me to give it to you when she was gone".


In the letter she had said: " Dear mizuki, I have kept my promise in the end to lend you my eyes if anything had happened to them. Now there is nothing more that I can ask from God, than the fact ,that will see the world through my eyes. You will always be my best friend........akiko".
When he had finished reading Dr. Berkeley said " I had promised akiko to keep her sacrifice she made a secret from you. But now I wish I didn't stick it Because I don't think It was worthy it" .
All that was left for mizuki while she stood there was tears of regret and memories of akiko for the rest of his life . 


Lesson of the story: No matter what If we make a friend, we should stick by him till the end. Life is meaningless without a friend.
