**************************************************

You can never have too many friends.
In fact some people only have a few.
Think of the people you work with.
Think of the people you play with.
How about people in your neighborhood.
People in nursing homes and homeless shelters.
You can never have too many friends.

If you see a person who is struggling thru life,
why not offer to be their friend thru a deed of kindness.
See a person without a smile? Offer them one of yours.

We live in a world full of stress and trials.
Why not offer friendship to lighten somebodys load?
Isnt that what God did thru Christ?

"Come unto Me ,all ye who are weak and heavy laden, And I will give you rest"

Animal you’re my furr ball.
I believe in "you"
and I’m calling just to say "HI"
I haven’t given up on you
I see your potential,
And forgave you of your mistake
and gave my all to you,
to help you through your rough spot.
And am inviting you over to my pad,
just so I can be with you.
And I am keeping you close to my heart.
Because I love you for who you are,
you make such a difference in my life,
I don’t judge you, nor you me
and I offer you my full support in your endeavors,
even picking you up and carrying you when your little short legs get tired,
to quiet your fears,
and raise your spirits.
Animal is so nice.
But you need to hear the truth,
yet I do understand,
and value your opinion.
Lets walk awhile together,
and I’ll explain it to you,
BUT PLEASE LISTEN TO ME!
Get back to reality!

The reality of it is, I want to be your friend.
