Your friend is your needs answered.
He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
And he is your board and your fireside.
For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.
When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the "nay" in your own mind, nor do you withhold the "ay."
And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart;
For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.
In any situation, pain or sorrow, one runs to their friend to share their emotions. Although, the most important ingredient which holds the friendship together is love, friendship is also dependant upon commitment to each other.  When one showers their friend with love, care, and commitment, they receive gratitude. No matter how far a friend is from you, they will always be your source of warmth and comfort.
