Recipe for Friendship

You take a bit of sunshine
And you mix it with a smile
Add human understanding
As you travel every mile

And then you add some loyalty
Which mingles in so well
And blend it with a voice
That has some cheery news to tell

And don't forget some sympathy
For other people's woes
And lots of human nature
Everywhere a person goes

Plus love for ordinary folks
Who have no wealth to give
And dignity with which all men
Have got the right to live

Then add to these a hand clasp strong
And measure out some truth
And willingness to

the old
Plus time for eager youth

Now stir them all together
And your task is at an end
For all of these combine
To make life's greatest gift-------
A Friend!

This little ditty is so TRUE.

Everyone should have this hanging up at home and work!

I also like the don't Quit one!

DeeDee this is absolutely the best !!!

I saved that and plan to print it out with a nice border so I can display it. I also will be sharing it with lots of people, too. This is surely a poem we should read to children, everyone should read or hear it for that matter

Thanks bunches, my friend
