It Takes One To Know One

It takes one to know one!

I was told that as a child!

It was said in a negative sense

But, it can be said in a positive one too

I now found that out!

I have a clear concept of

what it means since I met you!

It takes one to know one!

It is so real because you don't know

the joy I feel when you tell me that I have

a sweet spirit.

It takes one to know one!

I see that reflection in you-

You're sweetness, kindness, sincerity and caring

in its purest form!

It takes one to know one!

for sure these qualities you do

possess cause you bring so much happiness!

To everyone you meet, that is why I say you're

a sweet spirit that reflects laughter and joy!

It takes one to know one!

Yes that is so true - that is why I will continually

to grow in friendship and love with you!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

If you have a friend who is always saying uplifting things to you then you will see them here in this one. That's what friendship is about too, I believe...
