Ama!... Porque el amor es la llave de la vida!... Cree!... Porque la fe es la llave de la esperanza!... Sonríe!... Porque la sonrisa es la llave de la amistad!... Y siempre confía en Dios!... Porque "EL" es la llave de la eternidad!!!
Una puerta que se abre, Una mano extendida, Una sonrisa que te alienta, Una mirada que te comprende, Una lágrima que se une a tu dolor, Una palabra que te anima, Y una crítica que te mejora.
Un abrazo de perdón, Un aplauso que te estimula, Un encuentro que te regocija, Un favor sin recompensa, Un dar sin exigir, Una entrega sin calcular, Y un esperar ... sin cansancio.
EL QUE TIENE UN AMIGO!... TIENE UN TESORO!!! YA TU ERES PARTE DE MI GRAN TESORO DE AMIGOS!!!!
