The celebration of love on Valentine's Day shows itself in friendship. Here is a prayer for reflection and meditation on some ways to be a friend.

May I remember
A friend I am
When coming to another's place of unrest
With affection and warmth of caring.

A friend I am
When listening openly, non-judgmentally
When judgment would be easy.

A friend I am
When taking extra time
To lend a helping hand, though busy.

A friend I am
When feeling your need
I act for you
As I would for myself.
