True Friend

He is always by your side

He respects you, believes in you

He is true and has never lied

Out of all your friends he is one of the few

That will never insult or betray you

He will believe in you no matter what they say

Even if your life is like a zoo

And even if you’re feeling dark and grey

He will try to cheer you up

He is the man who will do anything

Even feed you hot chocolate in a silver cup

He will help you no matter how small of a thing

Your friendship will never end

He is a true friend

Dogsledding

You can smell the eagerness in the air, they want to run, they need to run. The first sled releases its grip on the brake and it takes of. Going so fast it appears to be gliding. The dogs then pull forward despite the commands to stop, they know they are about to run. The sled in front of you departs and your dogs can’t take it anymore. They pull so hard the brake becomes useless. You decide to let go and you’re off gliding like a kite. You bellow words of encouragement to your dogs. They bark and keep running. Despite the chilled atmosphere a smile breaks loose and you laugh in excitement. He snow winds and guides you like a highway, except there is no signs. The path is clear. You feel responsible because you know the actions are your own. Everything you do is a reflection of yourself and this makes you push yourself. You develop teamwork, you develop rigor, you develop friendship, and you develop confidence. You hear the sounds of nature calling for a mate; you hear trees and bushes silently whining in the wind. The snow crunches under your feet. You feel like your living not drifting through life. You now know why you came; to connect not just with friends but yourself.
