Friends in My Circle

When I was little,I used to believe in the concept of one best friend,and then I started to become a grown-up.
And then I found out that if you allow your heart to open up, God would show you the best in many friends.

One friend is needed when you're going through things with your special one.
Another friend is needed when you're going through things with your parents.
Another will sit beside you in the bleachers as you delight in your children and their activities. Another when you want to share, heal, hurt, joke, or just be.

One friend will say, "Let's cry together,
"another, "Let's fight together,"
another, "Let's walk away together."


One friend will meet your spiritual need,
another your beer fetish (hehehe),
another your love for sports,
another will be with you in your season of confusion,
another will be your clarifier,
another the wind beneath your wings.

But whatever their assignment in your life,
on whatever the occasion,
on whatever the day,
or wherever you need them to meet you with their gym shoes on and hair disheveled,
or to hold you back from making a complete fool of yourself.
Those are your best friends.

It may all be wrapped up in one person,
but for many, it's wrapped up in several..
one from 7th grade,
one from high school,
several from the college years,
a couple from old jobs,
on some days your mother or your dad,
on some days your neighbor,
on others, your brothers or your sisters,
and on some days, your kids......
