When troubles come your soul to try,
You love the friend who just stands by.
Perhaps there's nothing she can do,
The thing is strictly up to you.
For there are troubles all your own,
And paths the soul must tread alone.
Times when love can't smooth the road,
Nor friendship lift the heavy load.
But just to feel you have a friend,
Who will stand by until the end.
Whose sympathy through all endures,
Whose warm handclasp is always yours.
It helps somehow to pull you through,
Although there's nothing she can do.
And so with fervent heart we cry,
God Bless the friend who just stands by.

Never say you are happy when you are sad,
never say you are fine when you are not okay,
never say you feel good when you feel bad, and
never say you are alone when I'm still alive.

How can you tell the rain not to fall when clouds exist?
How can you tell the leaves not to fall when wind exist?
How can you tell me not to fall in friendship when you exist.

A Friend is like a flower a rose to be exact,
or maybe like a brand new gate
that never come unlatched,
A Friend is like abd owl,
both beautiful and wise.
Or perhaps a friend is like a Ghose,
whose spirit never dies.
A Friend is like a heart that goes
strong until the end.
Where would we be in this world
if we didn't have a friend.

I paused to say a prayer today
Thoughts just flooded my mind,
I prayed that God would visit you,
And give you peace of mind.
I thanked Him for the blessings
He sends to me along the way,
I prayed that He would bless you too,
And guide you til your life is through.
I told my God some have so many trials,
And life seems such a up hill climb,
I ask that He would send you strength,
He is God, He is always on time.
You have become so dear to me
How great to have you as my friend,
I pray that angels will guard your life,
Until your journey on earth will end.

Friendship is not a game to play, It is not a word to say,
It doesn't start on March and ends on May,
It is tomorrow, yesterday, today and everyday.
============================================================
Age appears to be best in some things.
Old wood best to burn.
Old books best to read.
Old rice best to eat and
Old friends best to keep.
============================================================
True friends are like mornings, You cant have them the whole day,
but you can be sure, they will be there when you wakeup tomorrow, next year and forever.
============================================================
As long as we have memories, yesterday remains;
as long as we have hope, tomorrow awaits.
As long as we have Friendship, each day is never a waste.
============================================================
Friendship is a Priceless gift that can't be Bought or Sold,
But to have an Understanding Friend is far more worth than Gold.

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
===============================================
Friendship with oneself is very important because without
it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.
~ Eleanor Roosevelt
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.

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.

We all need someone
To talk to in our life,
A friend to whom we run
In times of stress or strife
A friend who's always there
Throughout the years,
A friend we know will care
And take away our fears.
A friend who's always near,
Waiting for our call,
To wipe away our tears,
And lift us when we fall.
A loving friend indeed,
On whom we can depend
To fulfill our every need -
Thank you, precious friend

Friendship is not important with whom you have it…
Friendship is… how deep you have it,
Friendship is not how much you know….
Friendship is… how much you care,
Friendship is not how much you make happy…
Friendship is… how much you share sorrows,
Friendship is not how many times you reach your hand…
Friendship is… how many times you touch the heart,
Friendship is not how precious thing you give…
Friendship is… how much sensitive things you offer,
Friendship is not an achievement…
Friendship is…one beyond your destination,
Friendship is not just sharing the joy…
Friendship is… love in sharing the tears,
Long live our Friendship…..
Ever ending one… To YOU

Friendship is a promise

Do not ask for diamonds, pearls or riches,
But the love and companionship of real true friends
And be thankful if he sends you at least one.
A Friend is always failthful to you,
even during the bad times.
A friend is reliable...you can count on one to
always be there.
A Friend stays in touch, even though it may not
be as often as you'd like!
A true friendship is enduring, lasting even when
friends lose touch for a while.
A friend always there for you when you need
someone.
A friend is devoted to your friendship and will
never do anything to destroy it.

Be a friend. You don't need money;
Just a disposition sunny;
Just the wish to help another
Get along some way or other;
Just a kindly hand extended
Out to one who's unbefriended;
Just the will to give or lend,
This will make you someone's friend.
Be a friend. You don't need glory.
Friendship is a simple story.
Pass by trifling errors blindly,
Gaze on honest effort kindly,
Cheer the youth who's bravely trying,
Pity him who's sadly sighing;
Just a little labor spend
On the duties of a friend.
Be a friend. The pay is bigger
(Though not written by a figure)
Than is earned by people clever
In what's merely self-endeavor.
You'll have friends instead of neighbors
For the profits of your labors;
You'll be richer in the end
Than a prince, if you're a friend.
- Unknown
I offer unto you my heart
Full of love within,
I share with you the cup of Jesus life
To share of where we've been.
I offer you untold moments of time
As much as it will take,
To be the best of friends
Each refreshing sip appreciate.
I offer you fellowship of a living water
Overflowing love divine,
For what we share of heaven together
Will also bless this heart of mine.
I offer you all I have from God above
For whatever life unfolds,
We shall share this cup of friendship
For all the sweetness it will hold.

Plant a seed of friendship;
reap a bouquet of happiness.
****************************
Who finds a faithful
friend, finds a treasure.
****************************
Friendship doubles our joy, and
divides our grief.
****************************
True friendship is like sound health;
the value of it is seldom known
until it is lost.
****************************
The greatest thing
you will ever learn
is to love and to be
loved in return.

True friends are like diamonds,
precious and rare,
False friends are like autumn leaves
found everywhere.

Good friends are hard to find,
harder to leave, and impossible to forget.

You remind me of a flower,
Pretty, inside and outside.
A reason why people smile everyday,
A gift to all.
You remind me of chocolate,
Luscious and sweet.
Someone people can turn to in crisis,
Loved by all.
You remind me of a teddy,
Cute and huggable.
Someone people feel comfortable with,
Special to all.
You remind me of a balloon,
Happy and bouncy.
Someone people can have fun with,
Enjoyed by all.
You remind me of a lot of things,
But nothing can compare to the real person,
A friend I can look up to,
Cherished by me.

Life is a splendid thing, for sure
Or could be, quite a lot,
For being showered with loving friends
Is the nicest thing we've got.
God's been watering all our hearts
Of this we do not doubt,
In planting only lovely things
We get the good things out.
If we've got some love to share
With a friend all tried and true,
We sure feel oh so cozy
Sharing the special things we do.
Sometimes these days it pours with rain
So we hit some right raw mud,
But we can patch it up with loving
And chuckle at the fun.
Our God was nice to make blue skies
Come out with nice sunny hours
In rolling out the cutest kids
He planted all the flowers.
This place is not all bad
From all the praying on our knees,
Cause it has a kinder face
With all the nicest you and me's.
God gives us all a bite to eat
And with enough to spend,
Then is generous too, to share
A little more to lend.
These days there's way too much
Of shoving just to get,
We need to leave a lot more space
For loving others yet.
But, I do thank our caring Father
The brightest morning star,
That He is keeping watch on all
To keep us safe just as we are.
I send you lots of happy thoughts
With prayers God bless your health,
To laugh away tomorrows blues
And a huggle for your little self.

Our relation is strong, Hope it goes long....

Friends never make assumptions about you.
They never expect a reason to go out with you.
In fact friends only expect you to be you!
===========================================
One should try to make new friends everyday,
without the company of friends life is barren, and has no meaning.
One should learn that art of making friends,
because at the end of the life we remember our friends.
===========================================
Believe not only in yourself, but believe in your friends
as well for it is in the eye's of your friend that you discover yourself.

God, I come to your throne for prayer
Knowing that you are always near
You always know what's on my mind,
For you are always right on time.
I have so many dear loving friends
Some in need, others hurt so much,
Would you please just stop by today,
To let them feel your loving touch
I just leave them in your loving care
As I kneel before you, I leave a prayer.
That You will supply each need today,
They will know you are not far away.
I leave them now in your strong arms
Knowing Lord, your will be done,
All things happen, it is your plan,
Someday in glory we will understand.
Friends stand by when we're in need
How nice to feel friends gentle breeze,
I give God thanks for each one so dear,
Friends are special, God answers prayer.

In thoughts--I often visit you
And we share a laugh--or two
And talk of things we both hold dear
Like memories--both old and new.
We share our heartaches, and our joys,
Cause that's what friends are for.
Knowing we can be "ourselves"
To hearts with an "open door".
Advice is free, and its meant to be
A caring gesture of love.
With never a judgment for our mistakes,
But a haven from life's push and shove.
Though time and miles stretch between us.
With contentment, I've found what I sought.
As I smile---and sigh in remembering.
My visits to you----in a thought.

Beauty is start of life,
beauty is art of life,
risk is part of life,
and good friend is heart of life
Count our Life By Smiles, not Tears;
Count our Age By FRIENDS, Not Years.
There's a golden bridge called Friendship
That spans the river time,
And it links our hearts together ,
Though seperate roads we climb.
I may not be.. -The *Prettiest* girl alive- -
The *Richest* girl alive- -Or the *Smartest* girl alive- ..
But I do know Im.. -The *-luckiest-* girl alive- ..
Because I have the best friends by my side....

We need friends for many reasons, all throughout the four seasons.
We need friends to comfort us when we are sad,
and to have fun with us when we are glad.
We need friends to give us good advice.
We need someone we can count on to treat us nice.
We need friends because we are social in nature,
and having friends makes us feel secure.
We need friends to remember us once we have passed
sharing memories that will always last.
