Great Friendship Thoughts !



You are my friend of friends, my confidant, my closest companion

You are the one I turn to for comfort when my heart is heavy

and the first one I run to when I have good news to share.

Through seasons and years, you've grown nearer to my heart,

and I want you always to know, my friend, how much.


I love you... !!

Energizing Friendship Poem !!!


Some of the happiest times of my life
Are times you and I spend together.
For deep in my heart I've considered you special
One of my dearest friends ever...

Time after time I've enjoyed your nice company,
Warmed by your closeness we share,
And when there were days
That I needed encouragement,

I knew you'd always be there…
Time and again I've been ever so grateful
For having a good friend like you
A friend for all times,

To confide in, to count on, and treasure
A whole lifetime through.

You're a friend
For all times

True Friendship is Priceless !!!


God knew what He was doing
when He sent a gentle breeze
and brought a beautiful butterfly
to set my heart at ease.

The happiness of your friendship
and the gentleness of your words
have touched my life in a special way
and now I feel assured.

Thank you for your encouragement
and your thoughtfulness too
God knew what He was doing
when He sent me a friend like you.
