Friendship is loyalty respect and support
if any of these are absent
get out quickly for danger lurks
it’s equality not being a doormat
it’s sharing and caring
love with no strings attached
true friendship is rare and more precious than gold
my paean to my precious WP friends
aroused 
So heartfelt Kate! ❣️

Indeed! When each of us wear our humbleness and kindness on our sleeve, the world brightens up. Winter’s darkness fills with spring’s light.

I think of them more like acquaintances … a plethora of followers who don’t genuinely interact 🙂

Love this post ….. and I absolutely agree with you!! True friendship is rarer than gold and to be quite honest, I prefer the friendship over that of gold. It’s taken me a long time to find friends who accept me for who I am, and with that said, I AM the wealthiest woman alive!!! Thank you for this lovely post, Kate.

Beautiful poem and photo! The photograph resonates perfectly with the poem. I always think of friendship in a free-spirited kind of way. Like those flowers basking in the sunshine, we bloom best when we feel we can be ourselves.

Good one Kate, a precious explanation of what true friendship is all about … I wrote this one many years ago
A Friend
do you have a friend
who’s bound in a cocoon
living on eggshells
broken by sickly X-ray beams
their life’s a virtual hell
and for whom you want to scream
unconditionally you’ve given your love
now they’re tired waiting
for help
