Write On: Friends

Friends are as essential to life as water.

They quench the thirstiness of our hearts.

Friends are like a spring rain, watering the plants within us,

helping us grow too and beyond our full potential.

When surrounded by friends, I am like a child jumping with joy through the puddles outside.

Talking with a friend after a hard day is as refreshing as the first sip of water after a long run.

Without water we are dead.

But without a friend, we are lifeless....
