On Friendship

Your friend is your needs answered.
He is your field which you sow with love
and reap with thanksgiving.

... And let your best be for your friend.
If he must know the ebb of your tide,
let him know its flood also.
For what is your friend that you should
seek him with hours to kill?
Seek him always with hours to live.
For it is his to fill your need, but not
your emptiness.
And in the sweetness of friendship let
there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.
For in the dew of little things the heart
finds its morning and is refreshed.

- Kahlil Gibran
"The Prophet"
