"WHAT IS A FRIEND"
A friend is a rare and precious treasure
whose compassion is difficult to measure
A friend gives unconditionally,
never expecting anything in return.
A friend contacts you for no reason at all,
just to say "Hi, thought I'd give you a call."
A friend makes sacrifices in his own life
to lessen all your stress and your strife.
Who can you talk to at four in the morning
to help ease your pain
when your heart is in mourning.
A friend "loves" you for who you are,
never asking you to change for them.
A friend believes in you and all you can be
He does all he can to help you succeed
A friend encourages you and makes you smile
He'd do anything for you, even walk the last mile
A friend lends an ear through good and through bad,
And helps cheer you up when you're feeling real sad.
A friend knows when to be there
and when to leave you alone.
So hold tight to your friends,
don't let them get away,
for you may never find another
if they should ever stray
A friend is a very precious jewel,
so keep them close to you
in your heart and your soul

From Sue Kathryn
I have been a member of the Garden of Friendship for quite a while, and I love this
group. Whenever I am feeling down or just not up to par, I can count on members
of GOF to brighten my spirits. Members are always there with a kind word and a
prayer when needed and all of that is very important to me.
Being a member of Special Friends means a great deal to me as well. I love sending
gifts, adoptions and cards to brighten someone's day and it is always a bright spot in
my day when I receive something from a "Special Friend." Gifts are sent with love
and caring. They are not being sent because someone has to send them, they are
being sent because someone truly cares and wants to send them.
On the next couple of pages you will find gifts that the SF members have made for
you to take if you wish. Some of the gifts are from the members themselves and some
are from the Special Friends Committee.
