What is a friend?

(inspiration)

• A friend Should be Radical:
  
• They should love U when you are unlovable,
  
• Hug u when you are unhuggable,
  
• And bear you when you are unbearable,
  
• A friend Should be fanatical:
  
• They should cheer when the whole world boos.
  
• Dance when u get good news.
  
• And cry when you cry too.
  
• But most of all Friend should be Mathematical.
  
• They should multiply the joys. Divide the sorrow.
  
• Subtract the past. And add the tomorrow.
  
• Calculate the need deep in your heart.
  
• And always be bigger than the sum of all their parts.

Be Thankful for who you are!

Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings,
thank you, Lord, that I can hear.
There are many who are deaf.

Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as long as possible,
thank you, Lord, that I can see.
Many are blind.

Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising,
thank you, Lord, that I have the strength to rise.
There are many who are bedridden.

Even though the first hour of my day is hectic,
when socks are lost, toast is burned and tempers are short,

my children are soloud,
thank you, Lord, for my family.
There are many who are lonely.

Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in magazines
and the menu is at times unbalanced,
thank you, Lord, for the food we have.
There are many who are hungry.

Even though the routine of my job often is monotonous,
thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to work.
There are many who have no job.

Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day
and wish my circumstances were not so modest,
thank you, Lord, for life!
