This poem is called ‘Treasure’ and it was written by Ron Carnell. He wrote it for his best friend Angela many years ago and it goes like this:
It’s so hard to find the perfect breeze,
One blowing none too hard nor soft,
Carrying a scent of wild flowers,
And moving clouds about aloft.
It’s so hard to find the perfect sky,
One blue and deep and bright,
Carrying sense of openness,
With geese and wrens in flight.
It’s so hard to find the perfect night,
One warm, quiet and unflawed,
Carrying a mood of solitude,
And a closeness to our God.
Yet no perfection’s so hard to find,
As that which you extend,
And none I’ll ever treasure more,
than to simply be your friend.
This poem is also written by Ron Carnell. Here is some information about this song in his own words:
Friendship can be a difficult concept to fully grasp, but I think that largely because we don’t put enough emphasis on it’s importance.We experience a lot of different relationships in our lives. But none, I think, are any more important than when two people come together as Best Friends.
Best friends
One hand in mine, my hand in thine,
We walk through life’s stark shadow,
Two as one and one combine,
To fight the night’s dark battle.
My strength to thee, and thine to mine,
Our fervor never fallow,
Two friends are one by co-design
To face our common morrow.
I pledge my trust, thy trust is mine,
Through life’s deep joy and sorrow,
One for all and all align
And this our common motto.
Best friend of mine, and mine to thine,
No greater love to follow,
Two as one and one define
A friendship to the marrow.
Here’s another one by the same author!
Gods message:
You can hear the message in laughter,
It’s there on the oceans soft beat,
It’s part of the rainbow that’s after,
The rains that fall on our feet.
It’s an echo in the mountains above us,
A whisper in the deserts below,
It’s the touch of the people who love us,
And the smell of fresh fallen snow.
It’s a message that’s all around us,
A message that God extends:
Peace to all our brothers,
And love to all our friends.
There are also more poems by Ron Carnell and I will try to put on couple each week!
This is the same way I feel for friends even if I have never met them before.
So everyone in this world has a friend, doesn’t matter to who, there is always someone who will be there for you!

Hi Momty!
Thank you very, very much for that amazing letter of yours. I really loved it.
But you were getting weird when you said “you are the chosen one”
I can’t belive you know Hala, even though she isn’t my best friend.
I also can’t belive you used to come to Rissalah College!
Plz tell me the truth, did Mrs Tofey actually give you a kiss! Ewww!
I will give you a letter too!
Plz say hi to Nadine!
Bye for now but not for ever!
