The True Meaning of Friendship
When true friendship binds two individuals together, that bond can never
be broken. For in times of confusion, I will be there to listen to you. In
times of sadness, I will be there to console you. In times of anger, I will be
there to talk with you.
Even when miles separate us, my friend, when you are confused, when you
are sad, when you are angry, search your heart and I will be there. I am, and
always will be your friend.
These are words spoken by a true friend. Many times in life we call people
friends that really don’t deserve that great honor. The honor of being
someone’s friend is one that should not be taken lightly. A friend has many
roles... one of the caretaker, the confidant, the one that is always honest
with you, the one that believes in you.
True friends will go through good times and bad. They listen to each
other... laugh and cry together...true friends understand each other even
when others don’t have a clue what is going on. Friendship means
believing in someone else and supporting them through the happy and sad
times.
A friend will catch you just before you hit the bottom. They will allow
you to fall just enough to see your mistakes. Once you are in that place,
they help you realize just how close you came to the edge.
When you find that friend in your life that will never leave your side,
2. cherish them, treat them with the utmost respect. Just remember they
would be willing to do anything for you, therefore you must be willing to
do the same for them.
Many of you may have found those friends right here in 4-H. I know that’s
where I met several of my most cherished friends. Those people mean
more to me than anything else in this world. Don’t be afraid to tell those
people that they mean the world to you. Don’t wait until it’s too late.
If you are at a transitional point in your life and feel like you don’t have
anyone that you could say is your true friend, you couldn’t be in a better
place, today, right now. In this room there are over 180 different
personalities. That means you have the opportunity to meet 180 new and
wonderful people.
Go out there and meet your friend, get to know people for more than face
value. Don’t judge people on their looks and decide that you don’t want to
get to know them. Look deep inside to their true personality and see the
inner beauty that they possess.
A friend is someone who understands me and knows me inside out, helps
keep me together and believes without a doubt, that I could move a
mountain.
Go find the person who knows you can move mountains!
