Take My Hand

Take my hand dear friend. Allow us to walk together and share our inner most secrets. Let us be there for each other in times of joy and times of despair. Let us walk together and share what life has to offer. Let us criticize each other constructively to better ourselves, yet without malice. Times of indifference are sure to challenge the friendship we share. There are those who will try and compromise us.

Let us never forget what brought us together. Remember what we have in common. Let us never forget to laugh at life and all it holds. Do not lose sight of the compassion we need. Our strengths, our weaknesses, our likes and dislikes all make us who we are. It is whom we are that makes our friendship special. I do not have to live your life. I do not expect you to live mine. What works for me may not work for you. That does not mean we can't be friends. Your color matters not with me. Your shape holds no bearing on what we share. Your age is an asset to what we share. You may be older. You may be younger. We can still learn from each other. Share a smile, a laugh, a gesture, a joke, a tear, a kiss or a hug. It's all the same. We are stronger for having each other. Put no commitments on me and I’ll not put any on you. We remain free to be who we are. Your successes are my successes. Your failures I share too. I smile when you feel good. I share your pain when you hurt physically or emotionally. You will never have to walk alone. Take my hand and walk with me. I am your friend. There are no conditions on my friendship. Do not cast conditions on me. Take my hand. You can be my friend. I'll hold you dear and respect your views. That's what friends do.
