"Friends"
Yes!! Hello!!! I am only here,
Thou we're so far, I'm so near,
Keep me in your heart wherever you go
Any place, any day, I'll be around,
Waiting for you to call my name &
I'll be there, wherever you are...
Side by side, in front of you,
Place me anywhere; I'll be there for you.
I'll walk and run and stand beside you,
Anywhere Pal, as long as I am with you.
You found a friend and so did I,
And keep each other near or far.
Don't ever change I like the way you are,
And I'll promise to be me,
And never change just for you pal.
We're so good together, & can share all things
Only good friends can have, like us, so close dear.
Jokes and laughters, green or blue
We can have it all, just me and you...
Without doubts, without fear, without envy or pity
Just the understanding way, a good friend could be.
Your perception in life makes me strong
And no wonder, I have to go on, to live in a life,
I have to survive, with your good advises pal,
I know I'll be all right.
Thank you so much for being there for me,
Any time of the day, on and off the screen
Yes, you are so far, but in here you're by my side.
As I kept you in a place, where I could reach.
Inside my heart, so close to me,
With a smile, making my day so bright and shinny.

My Special Friends
Sometimes I sit and wonder
what's important in my life...
When heaviness surrounds me
and my days are filled with strife.
I find the days grow shorter
with every passing year...
I think of things I should have done
and it all becomes quite clear.
I should have spent more time
with the people that I love.
I should have done more praying
to our Father up above.
I should have been more frugal
with the money that I've spent.
I should have been much kinder
with the words I never meant.
There is a lot I should have done
if I could start a new...
But the should haves are much easier
with Special Friends like you.
You always build me up
with your bright and cheery smile...
and when I need to talk,
you go that extra mile.
You help me lift my head
when I feel so down and low.
And when you say you love me,
my heart just seems to glow.
I want to say I thank you
for always being there
and tell you what it means to me
to know that someone cares.
So when I sit and wonder
what's important in my life,
I find it's not the should haves
or the anguish and the strife.
It's the little things you do
in such a great big way...
that makes me very thankful
and I just have to say...
~~"You're Special my dear friend
God sent you from above...
and there's nothing that's more precious
than your friendship and your love"~~
Our friendship
We've shared the kind of friendship
that's grown deeper
through the years.
We've seen the ups,
we've known the downs,
we've shared the smiles and tears.
And through it all,
I've learned one thing~~~
that there could never be
A dearer friend in all the world
than the one you are to me.

I Am Looking for a Friend
I'm looking for a friend today,
A friend who'll never stay away.
I want one friend, or maybe two,
But I want a friend who's just like you.
I'm looking for a friend, you see,
A friend who needs someone like me.
I want this friend, I really do,
But I want a friend who's just like you.
I'm looking for a friend sincere,
A friend who'll always bring good cheer.
I want a friend who wants me too,
But I want a friend who's just like you.
I'm looking for a friend who's good,
Who'll do the things a kind friend should.
I want a friend who's happy too,
But I want a friend who's just like you.
I'm looking for a loving friend,
Who will not let our friendship end.
I want a friend who's always true,
I think I've found my friend- IT'S YOU!!

Friendship is a promise
spoken only by the heart
It isn't given by any pledge,
It isn't written on any paper,
But friendship is a promise
that is renewed
every time two friends meet and smile
and enjoy the good times
that come from simply being together.
It's a promise to share
both glad and sad times.
A promise to think
of each other fondly
whether near or far apart.
Friendship is a promise
spoken only by the heart...
A promise that you and I
will always share.
-Larry S. Chengges-
I Give to You
I Give to You
A fire to light inside your heart,
to feel the warm embers glow.
A piece of the sun's warm rays,
to bask in its fiery show.
I Give to You
A piece of a rainbow to color your world,
when all seems totally gray.
Some roses for the sweet perfume,
to kiss your senses with its bouquet.
I Give to You
A sparkling of some twinkling stars,
to wish upon at night.
The morning dew to kiss the day.
To bask in its delight.
I Give to You
A summer's breeze to caress your face,
to show that someone cares.
The sweet song of the nightingale,
to remind you that they're always there.
I Give to You
My lasting friendship, always true.
A gift of love to hold inside,
whenever you feel blue,
or just because you need a friend.
This friend, that will always
be there for you!

Friends for Life
Friends are cherished people whom we carry in our
hearts wherever we go in life.
We may spend a lot of time together, getting to know
each other and sharing each other's lives, then have to
move on to other places. But no matter where we go, we
always remember the wonderful people who touched our
lives...
No matter where we go in life, we always remember the
people who loved us and helped us learn more about
ourselves, the people who stayed by us when we had to
face difficult times, and with whom we felt safe enough
to reveal our true selves.
Friends are the unforgettable people we dreamed and
planned great futures with, who accepted us as we were
and encouraged us to become all that we wanted to be.
-Unknown-
I'll be here
I cannot ease your aching heart,
Nor take your pain away;
But let me stay and take your hand
And walk with you today.
I'll listen when you need to talk,
I'll wipe away your tears;
I'll share your worries when they come,
I'll help you face your fears.
I'm here and I will stand by you,
on each hill you have to climb;
So take my hand, let's face the world...
And live just one day at a time.
You're not alone, for I'm still here,
I'll go that extra mile;
And when your grief is easier,
I'll help you learn to smile!

A Gift of Love to a Friend
I've nothing else to offer,
so, to you, it's love I'll send;
It's nothing that I borrowed,
and it's nothing that I'd lend.
It has no dollar value
and it can't be overused;
It isn't fragile, so it can't break
but often it's abused.
I've given it to others,
but each time it's unique;
Its meaning is always different,
depending on what you seek.
It's something you can store away
to feel when you're in need,
but never it is on display,
it's beauty can't be seen.
I'm giving it, no "strings attached",
no costly warranty,
this love I am sending
has a lifetime guarantee.
-Unknown-
For You, My Friend
If you've got secrets you want to tell,
we can talk all day long.
If your dreams get broken somehow,
I'll remind you that you belong.
If you need some place to hide,
you can hold my hand for a while.
If your sky begins to fall,
I'll stay with you 'til you smile.
Whenever you need some space,
there's my room- you can take it.
If someone breaks your heart,
together we'll unbreak it.
When you feel sad or empty inside,
I'll show you you're not alone.
If you get lost out there,
I'll come and take you home.
I'll go with you somewhere else,
when you need to get away.
And when nothing seems to be going right,
and you need a friend...
I'll stay.
-Unknown-
Unseen friends
Although you are a friend of mine
And letters we exchange
I would not know you on the street
And doesn't that seem strange?
You hold a place within my life
Unusual and unique
We share ideals and special dreams
And still we do not speak.
I picture what I think you are
Perhaps you picture me?
An intriguing game for both of us
For someone we cannot see.
So for this friendship we possess
We owe this mail a debt,
Perhaps the charm lies in the fact
That we have never met.
-Unknown-
Friends
You have been a friend of mine,
for a long moment in time.
Our friendship was true,
ours me and you.
You were always there,
someone who would care.
If I needed someone to talk to,
I know it will always be you.
Reaching out through the cold,
A warming hand for me to hold.
Just to say a big thank you to our friendship
That is so true!
-Mariam Nour-
A Friend is a Treasure
A friend is someone we turn to
When our spirits need a lift,
A friend is someone we treasure
For our friendship is a gift,
A friend is someone who fills our lives
With beauty, joy, and grace
And makes the world we live in
A better and happier place
-Jean Kyler McManus-
A Friend Like You
There's lots of things
With which I'm blessed,
My problems have been few,
But of all, this one's the best:
To have a friend like you.
In times of trouble
Friends will say,
"Just ask, I'll help you through it"
But you don't wait for me to ask,
You just get up and do it!
And can think
of nothing more
That I could wisely do,
Than know a friend,
And be a friend,
And have a friend like you.
-Anonymous-
Take my hand
And be my friend.
Stay by my side
Until the end.
Give me time,
And I will gain your trust,
A part of friendship
Which is a must.
Don't forget love
That comes from the heart.
Without such a thing,
Friends soon part.
As time passes on,
I hope to be close.
For I think I can trust you
More than most.
-Jim Little-
A Friend Most True
I need to know if you're my true friend,
will you be by my side until the end?
Can I tell you secrets deep,
and trust them in your heart you'll keep?
We are neither of us without our flaws,
can you accept mine as I will yours?
I'll be a shoulder to cry on when you're blue,
will you be there for me when I need you?
No matter how busy I will make time for you,
if you are busy will you make time for me too?
I will take your hand and comfort your tears,
will you hold me and soothe my fears?
I will give you joy and many warm smiles,
can we share that even across many miles?
I will not forget what's important to you,
will you remember what's important to me too?
With you my most favorite things I'll share,
If only I know do you truly care?
If you can accept me as I do you,
then I will know you are a friend most true.
-Wendy-
A Promise to You
You are wonderful to me,
I'm glad you are my friend.
Hopefully forever,
Until the end.
You make me feel special,
With all that you do.
It makes me feel so lucky,
Every time I'm around you.
You are there for me,
Through the good and bad.
It makes me happy,
Like I could never be sad.
I just want to thank you,
For everything you do.
I promise someday,
I'll do the same for you.
-Ashley Toth-
If I Could
If I could catch a rainbow,
I would do it just for you
and share with you its beauty
on the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain
you could call your very own
a place to find serenity
a place to be alone.
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea.
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain
or catch a rainbow fair
But let me be what I know best
A friend that will always care.
-Crystal Myrick-
Grateful
Like a needle in a haystack
true friends are hard to find
That's why I am so thankful
that I can call you mine
Whenever I need a shoulder
you're there to catch my tears
You've kept my many secrets
throughout the passing years
You've been there through my triumphs
You've witnessed my defeats
I'll remember the good times
and pray the bad one's don't repeat
With you my heart is honest
but there's only one thing I never told you
Thank you for everything you've done--
there's no one else like you
-Brooke Cowles-
Thank you
What made us friends?
I think I know.
Because you make the best of me show.
we found each other because God knew,
That a friendship like ours would always shine through.
Since our lives began,
Our friendship has been part of the plan.
Now I know how lucky I am,
That fate made us the best of friends.
I will never let you go,
You are my heart and soul.
As I bring this to an end,
I just want to thank you for being my friend.
-Unknown-
You Are Always There
I've never really thanked you for all you've done for me,
And how great of a friend you are, and I need to be.
The friend you are to me is more than I could ask for,
I know I'm not the same to you, but I'll try to be there more.
You always listen to my problems, and help me work them out.
You are exactly what a best friend is all about.
This year our friendship has seemed to overcome a lot,
Even on those many days, when we always fought.
We have shared fun times I'll remember through the years,
Even though there's been times when we've both shared lots of tears.
I can't find the right words to say how much I really care,
So I just want to say thank you for always being there!
-Hollie-
True Friend
I cannot imagine life without you.
They ask if we are sisters, twins or friends.
"My best friend," I reply, I will stay true.
If you need a hand, I will always lend.
My other half is what you are to me
I know that friends like you are hard to find.
My friend forever you will always be.
You are a great person, caring and kind.
Sometimes people like you will leave a mark,
keep promises and never tell you lies.
Friend I will never leave you in the dark,
return the friendship to you I will try.
Don't ever change, I love you how you are,
our friendship my friend I know will go far.
-Stacey Rice-
Best Friends Forever
As the years pass,
and we grow apart,
I want you to know,
that you're in my heart.
You helped me through problems,
through things good and bad.
You helped me keep smiling,
when I was sad.
You helped me with guys.
You made me stay strong.
How will I live,
when you are gone?
And where the years take us,
No place is too far,
We will think of each other,
wherever we are.
You're a wonderful person,
with a good heart to lend,
And I want you to know,
You're a really good friend.
-Angie Belanger-
Gift of You
Thank you for everything
You are a friend to me and so much more
I've always prayed for someone
Who I can entrust my whole heart to
And in no time at all
God has answered it
And added a little something else
A friend who builds up my confidence
And someone who listens to my heart
He granted me a special gift
That gift is no one else but you
-Kristine-
To My Friend
Don't be sad my friend
when you are hurt
I will be there
lighting a fire to warm your heart
when you have fallen
I will be there
picking up your hand gently
and walk along by your side
when you are alone
I will be there
sitting with you until the morning comes
or the glorious dawn
Don't cry my friend
for shedding a thousand tears
will only break your heart
I will hold a silken cloth
to wipe your tears away
It's all because
you were there for me too
I know someday
you may disappear without a trace
but my heart will still be here for you
if you ever need the comfort
How can I not feel sad
when you are gone
like a butterfly in the wind
but I know I will have to live with disappointment
and journey on
So let us celebrate life
the way it is
no matter what awaits ahead
my friend
let's face it with love and courage
that we crave
-Harry Wang-
Dark Hour
In the dark hours of night.
My friend,
Don't cry alone.
Crying is the angel of sorrow,
gradually oozing into your soul.
let me look into your eyes,
let me look at you.
whichever way you want.
Let me cry with you.
In the dark hours of your life.
My friend,
Don't suffer alone.
Suffering is an infectious disease,
gradually killing our spirit.
let me hold your shoulders,
let me hold your hands.
whichever way you want.
let me suffer with you.
my path is as difficult as yours,
nothing will make it easier.
journey of life awaits,
not all is delight,
not all is bright.
nonetheless we try,
like a comet shone on the sky.
to the obstacles awaits,
will not go down without a fight.
In this fight we win life.
and all the glory that comes with it.
stay with me, don't lose faith.
stay with me, don't lose that smile.
our path has the same fate,
my friend,
why do you still hesitate?
my path is as difficult as yours,
nothing will make it easier.
only your love will cure me,
never say goodbye.
-Harry Wang-
Untitled
In appreciation for the many qualities
that makes you a wonderful friend...
For sharing the ups and downs of life;
For always being there to listen,
trying hard to understand
and somehow knowing how to help;
For giving your time and your interest
so unselfishly...
My friend, you are the sunshine of my glad
days;
the rainbow of my sad days--
a rose among the thorns of life;
a shelter from the storms of life.
You are the best part of hard times;
the brightest of good times.
I offer you this expression
of my love and appreciation...
My friend, you are God's special gift to me.
-Joy-
Best Friends
We sit and talk
For hours at a time,
We share everything
Nothing is "mine"
We tell our hopes
Our fears, and our dreams,
We all have something in
Common it seems.
We're always together
Night and day,
But soon we will all
Be going out separate ways.
College, careers, anything
We choose, we will always
Be there for one another
No matter what we do.
Strong, weak, near or far,
We will always be
Best friends
No matter where we are.
-Jennifer Laskowski-
The End
I turn the corner, and there you are,
While we both pretend not to see the other.
We keep walking, our eyes straight ahead,
And I'm grateful, as we pass one another.
We were best friends for one year,
A year of laughter, a year of tears.
In the short time of bliss,
We had promised to be friends for years.
But those 'years' have now been altered,
And the friendship has lasted just one.
I know that it is the end,
This is a friendship that will not be won.
You don't understand why it ended,
or that I didn't want it to.
But sometimes in life,
You have to do what you have to do.
This was one of those cases,
I could no longer call you my friend.
I now know it can never go back,
And I have to realize, this is the end.
-Dev-
Seasons of Changes
Why am I so different?
What did I ever do?
To deserve the kind of treatment
that I receive from you.
You were my friend
when times were blue.
You stood by my side,
through and through.
But now you have changed,
you are acting quite different,
I want your old self,
to come out from inside.
I want our friendship back
I want you to change.
Is it asking too much
for you to be my friend once again?
I Will Be Your Friend
My friend
when inside you are hurting
and only I know
I wish the forces of nature
were at my command
I would reverse time
and make you smile
when deep inside you
a storm is raging
and your soul is but a boat
upon the lonely seas
I want to calm the waves
and bring you home
I am always here if you need me
to cry with you if you need me
to laugh with you
to pray with you
to run with you
to love life with you
You are my friend
I will never leave you.
