"A friend is someone we turn to
when our spirits need a lift.
A friend is someone we treasure
for our friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone who fills our lives
with beauty, joy, and grace.
And makes the whole world we live in
a better and happier place."
"You are forever loved
though this life fades away
and all mortal bodies decay.
You will forever be my beloved,
my imortal betrothed,
my enduring flame,
my guiding light,
my compass rose."
"The morning cup of coffee has an exhilaration about it which the cheering influence of the afternoon or evening cup of tea cannot be expected to reproduce."
