A Friendship Poem (author unknown) A friend is someone to share your whole day with, someone to wish on a star,

A friend is someone to laugh 'til you’re crying, one with to walk very far,

A friend is someone who won't tell your secrets, a friend is somebody fair,

A friend is someone to share a big sundae, someone to French braid your hair,

A friend is someone to make you happy, when you’re very blue,

A friend is someone who teaches you things like how to tie your shoe,

A friend is someone who's always there for whatever you may need,

A friend is someone who you love, a friend is a friend indeed.

Have you hugged a friend today?
