A friend is someone we turn to
When our spirits need a lift,
A friend is someone we treasure
For true friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone we laugh with
Over little personal things,
A friend is someone we're serious with
In facing whatever life brings.
A friend is someone who fills our lives
With beauty, and joy, and grace
And makes the world that we live in
A better and happier place!

Friendship is one mind in two bodies.

Do you know why Xs at the end of a letter signify kisses?
In the Middle Ages, when many people were unable to read or write, Documents were often signed using an X. Kissing the X represented an oath to fulfill obligations specified in the document. The X and the kiss eventually became synonymous.
