Friendship
Each
of us has a hidden place
Somewhere deep within ourselves;
A place where
we go to get away,
To think things through,
To be alone, to be ourselves.
This unique place, where we confront our deepest feelings,
Becomes
a storehouse of all our hopes,
All our needs, all our dreams,
And even
our unspoken fears.
It encompasses the essence of who we are and what we
want to be.
But now and then, whether by chance or design,
Someone
discovers a way into that place we thought was ours alone.
And we allow that
person to see, to feel and to share
All the reason, all the uncertainty
And all the emotion we've stored up there.
That person adds new perspective
to our hidden realm,
Then quietly settles down in his own corner of our special
place,
Where a bit of himself will stay forever.
And we call that
person a friend.
