My Treasured Friend Faithful friend, feared teacher of embarrassing moments, my companion. You're the essence of forever, teacher of acceptance, judge of my behavior. Without you, intelligence is vanity, compassion, wasted vessel of emotion. Through life you shaped my outlook, influenced my thoughts and resolutions. Student of your teachings, I've learned Stanford, Harvard can't replace you. I've learned to love, treasure and share you as the elders in their wisdom, learned to appreciate you. You walk with me, hand in hand whether happy, successful, or beaten by the weather. Experience, you shall remain my friend forever. copyright © 2000 by Gloria Pimentel
