TRUE FRIEND

You have always had the ability to be a good friend.
You listen to your friends and they listen to you.
They give you their confidence and you hold it sacred.
They trust you with their most guarded secrets.
They follow you and feel safe in your company.
In turn they learn from you and where ever they go,
They carry a part of you with them.
When they touch another life, they pass a little
Of you along.
You have made more of a difference in your lifetime,
Than you will ever know.
It is not always put down on paper, to gather dust in
Libraries.
Great strides are made every day that may seem to go
Unnoticed, but nothing we know outlives the soul and
All the souls that you have touched so gently and so
Deeply move forward to a better life.
