دوستی

لجنہ اماء اللہ کینیڈا کے سہ ماہی مجلہ ’’النساء‘‘ اکتوبر تا دسمبر1998ء کے انگریزی حصّہ میں مکرمہ رضیہ طاہر صاحبہ کا مرسلہ مختصر خاکہ The A-Z of Friendship کے عنوان سے شائع ہوا ہے۔

A Friend….
Accepts you as you are
Believes in you
Calls you just to say Hi
Doesn’t give up on you
Envisions the whole of you
Forgives your mistakes
Gives unconditionally
Helps you
Invites you over
Just “be” with you
Keeps you close at heart
Loves you for who you are
Makes a difference in your life
Offers support
Picks you up
Quiest you fears
Raises your spirits
Says nice things about you
Tells you the truth when you need to hear it
Understands you
Values you
Walks beside you
X-plain things you don’t understand
Yells when you won’t listen and
Zaps you back to reality
