One day two Friends were walking
Through the Desert
During some point of their Journey
They had an argument, and one of
The Friends
Slapped the other one in the face.
The one who got slapped
was hurt, but without saying anything.
Wrote In The Sand
Today My Best Friend
Slapped Me In The Face.
They kept on walking
Until they found and Oasis,
Where they decided to take a bath.
The one who had been slapped,
got stuck in the Mire and started drowning.
But the Friend Saved Her/Him.
After she/he recovered from the near drowning.
Wrote on a Stone.
Today My Best Friend
Saved My Life
The Friend who had slapped and saved her/his, Friend.
Asked?
After I Hurt You
Your wrote in the Sand,
and now you write on a
Stone. 
Why?
The other Friend replied
"When someone hurts us,
we should write it down in the Sand,
Where the Winds of Forgiveness can erase it away

Learn to write
Your Hurts in the Sand
and to
Carve Your Benefits in Stone.

They say it takes a Minute to find a
Special Person
An Hour to Appreciate Them
A Day To Love Them
But Then
An Entire Life
To Forget Them....

Take the Time To Live
Do Not Value the Things
You Have in Your Life
But Value
Who You Have In Your Life...

People Will Forget What You Said
People Will Forget What You Did
Yet People
Will Never Forget
How You Made Them Feel..

I have seen this before a few times on the Net but it is always worth repeating as True Friendship is a wonderful gift that we can all share regardles of colour, class, creed or age. I will be adding one of my earlier poems as a subject later this evening. Thank you again.

Thank You.

Like yourself I too have seen it around for along while and the other day I was going thru some old poem's and found it.

It was one of those things that the moment I found it knew it was worth reposting.

Have a wonderful day.
