Friendship Is Life

If kisses were water,
I will give you the sea.

If hugs were leaves,
I will give you a tree.

If you love a planet,
I will give you a galaxy.

If friendship is life,
I will give you mine.

You Are My Friend

Standing by,
All the way.
Here to help you through your day.

Holding you up,
When you are weak,
Helping you find what it is you seek.

Catching your tears,
When you cry.
Pulling you through when the tide is high.

Just being there,
Through thick and thin,
All just to say, you are my friend.

True Friendship Poem

You are friendly, kind and caring
Sensitive, loyal and understanding
Humorous, fun, secure and true
Always there... yes that's you.

Special, accepting, exciting and wise
Truthful and helpful, with honest blue eyes
Confiding, forgiving, cheerful and bright
Yes that's you... not one bit of spite.

You're one of a kind, different from others
Generous, charming, but not one that smothers
Optimistic, thoughtful, happy and game
But not just another... in the long chain.

Appreciative, warm and precious like gold
Our friendship won't tarnish or ever grow old
You'll always be there, I know that is true
I'll always be here... always for you.

Friendship Greeting

I'd like to be the sort of friend that
you have been to me;
I'd like to be the help that
you've been always glad to be;

I'd like to mean as much to you
each minute of the day
As you have meant, old friend of mine,
to me along the way.

I'd like to do the big things and
the splendid things for you,
To brush the gray from out your skies
and leave them only blue;

I'd like to say the kindly things that
I so oft have heard,
And feel that I could rouse your soul
the way that mine you've stirred.

I'd like to give you back the joy
that you have given me,
Yet that were wishing you a need
I hope will never be;

I'd like to make you feel as rich as I,
who travel on
Undaunted in the darkest hours with you to
lean upon.

I'm wishing at this time that I
could but repay
A portion of the gladness that
you've strewn along my way;

And could I have one wish this year,
this only would it be:
I'd like to be the sort of friend
that you have been to me.

If Ever You Need Me

If ever you need me
I will always be there
If ever you need a friend
I want you to know I care
If ever you need to cry
I promise to cry with you
If ever you need someone
My heart will shine for you

If ever you cannot see the sun
Only clouds up in the sky
I will hold your hand
I will help you see life in God's eyes
If ever you think
No one is there
You have Jesus love
He will carry your despair

If ever you wonder where God is
I will help you find the way
All things are done for a reason
I will help you pray.
Remember, you are like a sister
I understand your grief
When someone you love
Needs much relief

If ever you need me
I will be by your side
Jesus never forgets you
For He also cries
You have always
Been there for me
Now it is my turn,
To help you see butterflies are free

Do not feel unhappy
Or lost inside your heart
Remember Jesus loves you
I can feel His arms
He is with you forever
He will leave you never
If you need me, I will know
Whatever happens let your fear go

If you ever need me
I am always here
I will pray for you always
Because you are so dear.
