Illuminating actions reveal through….

Doing the right thing when no one is looking and no one will know

Engaging, helping without thoughts of personal gain or recompense

Being there unasked, unconditionally and unbounded

Connecting for no reason other than to connect

Confiding with confidence to an empathetic ear

Supporting when unpopular even at personal risk

Acting with complete trust without a second thought

And being continually present with companionship and concern

With a discerning look, true colors are easy to see

The only measure of a meaningful and lasting friendship.
