How to mend a friend Karl NewsonIllustrated by Clara Anganuzzi
Some friends need a great big hug to help them feel well.
Some prefer to be alone.Some listen.Others tell…
the most adventurous stories of the times that went before!Some friends may not want to talk about them anymore.
Some friends need a little help to find their smile again…It could be in the rising sun.It might be in the rain.
Some friends like to read a book,and some friends like a bath.Some just want to watch TV,While others need to laugh. Some friends have a list of things They had like to try to do.Some friends will be happiest just to be with you…sitting, doing nothing much and saying not a word. Sometimes just a tiny smile will let them know you have heard.
Some friends keep a diary.Some friends write a letter.Some will sing their favorite songs to help themselves feels better.
Some friends say a flower helps a heart that has an ache.Some prefer an ice-cream or a homemade chocolate cake.Some friends don’t want anything… expect to feel sad. Some friends want for all the things they wish that they still had.Some friends want to go back home.Some may want to shout!
Some friends want to keep it in,while others let it out!Some friends like to share their hearts to show you that they care. Some friends like to sent a note, to let you know they are there, some friends will br with you even if they are afar.Some friends will be there for you no matter where you are.
some friends will grow old with you some may come and go.Some will teach you things about yourself you didn’t know.Some friends need a little hug to help them to feel good.
Some friends want to run it off…around the neighborhood.Some friends want to fly away Some friends want to hide. And maybe, in a while they’ll be pleased that you were there… All of us are different.Everybody.Everywhere. Some friends need a lot of friends. To help them see things through... You can be the greatest friend just by being you.
