I've just now received this beautiful poem from one of my dear friend here at DS and thought I would share it with all of you.I like to call you all my ANGELS  Subject: friends People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. > When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. > When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need > you > have expressed. > > They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with > guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. > They may seem like a godsend and they are. > They are there for the reason you need them to be. > > Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this > person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. > Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. > Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. > > What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled , > their work is done. > The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. > > Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come > to > share, grow or learn. > They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. > They may teach you something you have never done. > They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. > > Believe it, it is real. But only for a season. > > LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build > upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. > > Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have > learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. > > It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. > > Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season > or a lifetime
