The Gold of Friendship

The Gold of Friendship

by Gail Mahan

Have you ever found gold? Was it under a shining mountain? Was it high in a gleaming castle? Deep in a sparkling ocean? Have you ever found gold just by looking in someone's heart? Gold makes you rich. But one kind of gold is worth more than all others. It isn't the gold you can spend, wear or hold. It's kind you find in a friend.

First you have to look for gold dust. Maybe you've seen it on the cheeks of someone smiling at you.

Have you seen gold on helping hand? On lips that say "You're dear"?

Perhaps you've seen it on the shoes of someone coming when you need somebody near. Sometime gold dust doesn't show. Then you have to look closer and dig deeper. But of you believe that you'll find gold inside,chances are you will.

If you give up too soon, you may miss buried treasure. It may take time to find gold But it starts to shine when you and friend trade secret secret...or dream silently together...

When you are together sharing,pleasing,caring in sad and happy weather. When you first see your smile on someone else's face you've just discovered gold. for friends is the most precious discovery of all.

And you will know that's true,when you know a friend has found gold in you.
