What is Friendship?

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 I can think
of nothing more
That I could wisely do,
Than know a friend,
And be a friend,
And have a friend like you.

Special Friend

All I ever wanted
Was a friend
Not just any friend
A special friend

You were more than
A friend to me
You just had to blow it
With a mouthful of lies

Since then you've become
Nothing to me
Just another person on
My list to ignore

All I ever wanted
Was a friend
Not just any friend
A special friend

I couldn't trust you
With my words
For you would just
Tell me off

I couldn't trust you
With myself
I knew you would
Hurt it

All I ever wanted
Was a friend
Not just any friend
A special friend

Real Friend

I love the time I spend with you,
because you're one of those friends
I always have a good time with.

Even when I'm feeling down,
you manage to help me
feel better about things.

You really listen,
and it's obvious you care.

I appreciate your positive attitude
and the fact that
no matter what I do,
you always see the best in me.

There's not a doubt in my mind
why God put you in my life. . .
He wanted me to know what
a real friend is.

Special Friendship Quotes

Good friendships are fragile things and require as much
care as any other fragile and precious thing.

~ Randolph S. Bourne
===============================================

To be capable of steady friendship or lasting love, are the
two greatest proofs, not only of goodness of heart, but of
strength of mind.

~ William Hazlitt
===============================================

"The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand,or
the kindly smile, or the joy of companionship.
It is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he
discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing
to trust him with his friendship."

~ Unknown
===============================================

"To the soul, there is hardly anything more healing than friendship."

~ Thomas Moore
===============================================

it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

Friends Forever

When we first met you were annoying.
Who knew we would become the bestest of friends.

Talking on the phone. Chatting on the net.
Every minute thanking God that we met.

My heart grew for you. It begged.
It pleaded for your love, not knowing how to tell you.

Two years later we met in person.
My heart leaped for joy.

For the life of me I couldn't remember my name.
I totally forgot how to speak.

I sat there and watched your every move.
My heart melting with every smile.

"Do you believe in love at first sight?" you asked
"I don't believe in love," I lied

When I had to leave my heart fell to the floor.
Why did I have to leave so soon?

So I could return later that year.
To see your smiling face and maybe express what I feel.

The truth is I do believe in love.
I believed in it the moment I saw you.

Now as you read this poem you probably have mixed feelings.

Not only did I write this to say I love you
But to thank you.

I need to thank you for being there through thick and thin. And I think
that is why you are my best friend.

From my heart to yours I want to say,
Thank you and I love you.
