Cup of tea

To all the readers. . . .  

 
Time passes.
Life happens.
Distance separates.
Children grow up.
Love waxes and wanes.
Hearts break.
Careers end.
Jobs come and go.
Colleagues forget favours.
Some don't call when they say they will.
BUT..........

Friends are there,  
No matter how much time  
And how many miles are between you.  

A friend  is never further  
Away, than needing them, can reach .
When you have to walk that lonesome  
Valley and you have to walk it for yourself,
Your friends will be on  
The valley's rim,  
Cheering you on,  
Praying for you,  
Pulling for you,  
Intervening on your behalf,  
And waiting with open arms at the valley's end.  

Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you.  
Or come in and carry you out.

The world wouldn't be the same without them, and neither would I.  

When we began this adventure called friendship  
We had no idea of the incredible joys
Or sorrows  
That lay ahead.  
Nor did we know how much  
We would need each other.

So have a cup of tea with me and enjoy your weekend!
