What Comes Of Tomorrow?

I have very few friends who are true to my heart. Yet, those that are, I care for and love unconditionally. I wish for them health, happiness, prosperity, beauty, and love. I wish for them all things good.

This poem is one I wrote to one of my very closest friends

What Comes Of Tomorrow

Joy is what fills the heart of they
which hold within the mysteries of a friend
A passion unknown unto words
Within them fall the tears of all things they endure as one
And from their eyes diamonds fall,
So precious every one
Dear within, the memories they caress with sorrow
And gather them today, for what may come of tomorrow
Priceless
Priceless ever are these moments that we spend with those so dear
Comforting now to know that they are near
Yet there comes a day when they see the eagle soar
And feel within their hearts
A passion so much more
As we stand beside them when that gleam glows in their eyes
What comes of tomorrow
My friend's lost paradise
And though a distant barrier wells up within the heart
There is a joy inside
To know the joy of a dawning start
Standing there beside them on that road to paradise
We say farewell and weep
Knowing they must also compromise
And so we hold them close and whisper in their ear
Please take with you these memories.
Then from the eyes,
Your tear.

You can make many friends depending upon the demand of the situation but you will have only couples of True Friends.

True Friends encourage and support each other during the time of struggle. It also demands forgiveness. If one friend has done something which is against the friendship, the True Friend will definitely forgive him/her.

Sometimes, misunderstanding do happen between two friends but if the Friendship is True and you really care about each-other, matters sort out by itself over the period.

A Father-Son, Mother- Daughter, Husband -Wife or any two friends can have True Friendship. For that matter anybody can be your True Friend. It is just that you need to recognize and trust him/her.

"Portrait of a Friend"

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts,
or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will
search for answers.

I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain,
nor the future with its untold stories.
But I can be there now when you need me to care.

I can't keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you,
and help you when you ask.

I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship,
from your values, from me.
I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.

I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you,
But I can give you the room to change, room to grow,
room to be yourself.

I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,
But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces
and put them back in place.

I can't tell you who you are.
I can only love you and be your friend.

HELPING A DEPRESSED FRIEND

Helping a depressed friend

Depressed teens typically rely on their friends more than their parents or other adults in their lives, so you may find yourself in the position of being the first â€" or only â€" person that they talk to about their feelings. While this might seem like a huge responsibility, there are many things you can do to help.

1. Get your friend to talk to you. Starting a conversation about depression can be daunting, but you can say something simple: "You seem like you are really down, and not yourself. I really want to help you. Is there anything I can do?"

2. Know that your friend doesn’t expect you to have the answers. Your friend probably just needs someone to listen and be supportive. By listening and responding in a non-judgmental and reassuring manner, you are helping in a major way.

3. Encourage your friend to get help. Urge your depressed friend to talk to a parent, teacher, or counselor. It might be scary for your friend to admit to an authority figure that there is a problem. Having you there might help, so offer to go along for support.

4. Stick with your friend through the hard times. Depression can make people do and say things that are hurtful or strange. But your friend is going through a very difficult time, so try not to take it personally. Once your friend gets help, he or she will go back to being the person you know and love. In the meantime, make sure you have other friends or family taking care of you â€" your feelings are important and need to be respected, too.

5. Speak up if your friend is suicidal. If your friend is joking or talking about suicide, giving possessions away, or saying goodbye, tell a trusted adult immediately. Your only responsibility at this point is to get your friend help, and get it fast. Even if you promised not to tell, your friend needs your help. It’s better to have a friend who is temporarily angry at you than one who is no longer alive.

Bukannya senang nak cari kawan yang baik.
Bukan senang juga nak menjadi kawan yang baik.

Kawan yang baik tak pernah mengumpat di belakang kawan baiknya.
Kawan yang baik tak pernah cemburu dengan kejayaan kawan baiknya.
Sebaliknya kawan yang baiklah yang paling banyak membantu
kawan baiknya untuk mencapai kejayaan.

Kawan yang baik tak pernah mempengaruhi kawan baiknya untuk
membuat perkara yang buruk dan sia-sia.
Kawan yang baik adalah orang yang selalu menasihati kawan baiknya
untuk berbuat kebaikan.

Kawan yang baik adalah orang pertama yang akan dicari bila tiba masa sedih atau gembira.
Kawan baik menjadi tempat kita meluahkan perasaan yang tak dapat diluahkan
kepada kawan biasa.

Kawan yang baik tak pernah memaksa kawan baiknya untuk sentiasa berada di sisinya.
Kawan yang baik tak pernah melarang kawan baiknya untuk berkawan dengan
kawan yang baik. Kawan yang baik tak pernah cemburu jika kawan baiknya mempunyai ramai kawan baik, kerana kawan yang baik tahu apa yang paling baik untuk kawan baiknya.

Kawan yang baik akan sentiasa mendoakan kesejahteraan dan kebahagiaan kawan baiknya di dunia dan di akhirat di dalam doanya.

Kita adalah kawan yang baik jika kita faham bahawa kawan baik kita bukanlah
seorang yang sempurna. Kita adalah kawan yang baik jika kita menjadi kawan yang baik kepada kawan baik kita.

Kita bukanlah kawan yang baik jika kita tidak menghargai kawan baik kita,
kerana kawan yang baik akan sentiasa menghargai kawan baiknya.

Kita bukanlah kawan yang baik jika kita tidak memberitahu perkara yang baik kepada kawan baik kita, kerana kawan yang baik akan selalu menyampaikan perkara yang baik kepada kawan baiknya.

Kawan yang baik akan menyampaikan mesej ini kepada kawan-kawannya, bukan kerana terpaksa, bukan kerana suka-suka, tetapi untuk dijadikan pedoman oleh kawan-kawannya supaya dapat menjadi kawan yang baik kepada kawan baiknya.

Dan kalau kita nak dapat kawan baik yang baik, kita mesti lebih dahulu menjadi seorang kawan yang baik...kepada kawan baik kita
