A friend is your needs answered.
He is your field which you sow with love, and reap with thanksgiving.
And he is your board and your fireside.
For you come to him with your hunger,
and you seek him for peace.

And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart;
For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.
When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.

And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit…
Let your best be for your friend.
If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know the flood also.
For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill?
Seek him always with hours to LIVE.
For, it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness.
And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasure.
For in the dew of the little things the heart finds its morning, and is refreshed.
~Kahlil Gibran
