Friends Without Faces

We sit and we type, and we stare at our screens.
We all have to wonder, what this possibly means.

With our mouse we roam, through the rooms in a maze,
Looking for something or someone, as we sit in a daze.

We chat with each other, we type all our woes;
Small groups we do form, and gang up on our foes.

We wait for somebody to type out our name.
We want recognition, but it is always the same.

We do form friendships, but why, we don't know
How some of these friendships will flourish and grow.

Why is it that on screen we can be so bold,
Telling our secrets, that have never been told?

Why is it we share the thoughts in our mind
With those we can't see, as though we were blind.

The answer is simple; it is clear as a bell.
We all have our problems, and need someone to tell.
We can't tell real people, but tell someone we must.
So we turn to the "puter", and to those we can trust.
Even though it is crazy. The truth still remains.

They are "Friends Without Faces", and odd little names.

Special Friendship Quotes

Friendship is a network
that need no recharge,
no roaming,
no activation,
no signal problems,
Just make sure
you don't switch off your heart
==================================

Friendship is like standing
on a wet cement...
the longer you stay,
the harder its to leave
and you can never go
without leaving your footprints...
==================================

One of the best moments
of life is to meet an
old friend after years
and feel that things haven't changed
and you realise how much
you missed having him around...
==================================

Friendship is needless,
like philosophy, like art
it has no survival value,
rather it is one
of those things that
give value to survival
==================================

Friendship is like a
tennis match;
To win, you have to serve well,
and always remember
it begins with love all
==================================

This message has no fat,
no cholestrol and no additives.
Only natural flavours of
care and love and joy
it contains sweetness
but not as SWEET as you
==================================

Rocking Friendship!!

Friendship is the kind of love
that never can grow old.
Warm and cozy it will stay
when other things are cold.

Friendship is a love so true
it won't be denied,
Because a friend will always be
there close by your side.

Selfish friends and lovers come and go
in this game of life we play,
But a true friend, no matter what,
in your heart will always stay.

So hold these friends dear to you,
and never let them go.
Think how much they mean to you,
and make sure to tell them so.

How Friendship Break ?

Both friends will think the other is busy
And will not contact thinking it may be disturbing

As time passes
Both will think let the other contact

After that each will think why i should contact first ?

Here your love will be converted to hate

Finally without contact the memory becomes weak
They forget each other.

So be in touch with your friends….

Friendship

Friendship is a heavenly voice
That makes the hearing rejoice

Make new friends but keep the old
Though they are old, they are gold

No matter how many friends you have
There is always room for one more

God chooses our relatives
But we choose our friends

A true friend is some one who knows
Everything about you but still likes you.

True friend is like a Diamond
He/She is valuable for ever.

The Friend Who Just Stands By

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.

I just listen with my heart and
Hope to be of help in anyway I can.

And always please remember
I am your friend!

Friend Is SomeOne Special

A Friend is someone special
Sharing moments that are precious
Always true, yet like a perfect diamond
Are rare and few

Unconditional times are spent
Through laughter and tears
These memories will last
Through out the years

When you are troubled
And your burden is heavy
A friend is there
To chase away your tears and worries

A friend is always concerned for your well being
Lending advice for you to learn when needed
Never demanding or judgmental
A friend is truly sentimental

So always remember at any given day
A true friend showers you with love and sincerity
And forever in your heart they remain
Thank you for being my friend.

Or perhaps a friend is like a Ghose,
whose spirit never dies.

strong until the end.
Where would we be in this world
if we didn't have a friend.

Friends

Friends brighten my day come sunshine or rain
In my heart dear friends will always remain
They are with me through woes and strife
Friends bring so much happiness to my life.

Friends are like a chain of pure gold
They are shaped by God in a perfect mold
Every link is love, a smile, a laugh, or a tear
A loving grip of their hand when they are near.

Friends are like a never ending circle of light
On the darkest night making my path bright
Every friend is unique in one's own way
And all together they make a lovely bouquet.

Friends are precious gifts bestowed by God's grace
I will always hold them close in a loving embrace
I have been blessed by friends God sent my way
And I will give thanks to Him each night as I pray.

How To Become An Ideal Friend

Its not easy becoming a friend or making one because a friend is not a state of mind. Its real and its in your face. A friend is someone who makes your life worth its while a little more than yesterday. While everybody has their own definitions of a "friend", the long and short of it is we all need friends to make our lives better. We at TheHolidaySpot value our friendship as much as you do and would like to share our ideas of how to become an ideal friend with you, for if wasn't for you we wouldn't be where we are today.

Honesty Is The Best Policy...

In friendship "honesty" is the key word. One should always be honest to his or her friends. Don't overlook their faults, even if you have none for you are his friend! Praise them honestly and openly. Say you're sorry, when you hurt your friend. Don't let them assume it.

Give More Than You Take...

Be there when they need you or you may wind up alone.
Love them unconditionally, that is the only condition. Make them feel special, because aren't we all special? Never forget them, who wants to feel forgotten.

Be Supportive...

Cheer them on, we all need encouragement now and then.
Encourage their dreams and aspiration, Life seems almost meaningless without them.
Your words count, use them wisely.
Use good judgement.
Wish them luck, hopefully good
Eamine your motives before you "help" out
Just be there when they need you
Really listen, a friendly ear is a soothing balm

Forgiveness...

Forgive them for, "To Err is Human", and you just may end up making the same mistakes in course of time..

Keep The Faith...

Have faith in them. For, there is no love without trust.
Zip your lips when they confide in you.

Express Yourself Clearly

Know when they need a hug, and couldn't you use one?
Offer to help, and know when " No thanks" is just politeness
Quietly disagree, noisy No's make enemies
Verbalsise your feelings

Have Fun...

Get together often, misery loves company, so does glee.
Talk frequently, communication is important.

Enjoying your friendship is the order of the day. So its not what we call a friendship if you don't feel right. Always remember a friendship is worth it when you are able to enjoy the amazing relationship with no holds barred. Its a mutual bond for life that you cant give up.

A Friendship Prayer

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.

© Bernice Ward

Be A Friend

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.

Friendship Story - A True Friend

A girl asked a guy if he thought she was pretty,

He said...No.

She asked him if he would want to be with her forever...and he said "No."

She then asked him if she were to leave would he cry, and once again he replied with a No.

She had heard enough. As she walked away, tears streaming down her face the boy grabbed her arm and said...

You're not pretty you're beautiful.

I don't want to be with you forever, I NEED to be with you forever.

And I wouldn't cry if you walked away...I'd die...

SO NOW I WILL SAY:

I like you because of whom you are to me...A true friend.

Remember:

A good friend will come bail you out of jail....
But a true friend will be sitting next to you saying...
'WE screwed up!'
Proud to be your Friend!

You are My Sweet Friend

I love your very energy...
You're fun to be around!
Your laughter lifts me higher...
When I am feeling down!

I can't recall a single time,
Back through all the years...
You haven't brought a smile to me,
And helped me dry my tears!

If there are any true friends...
I can't imagine how...
For there could never be two hearts...
More close than ours are now!

Some Great Friendship Messages

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.

Beautiful Friendship

Have you ever watched a butterfly
The beauty and the grace
That perch among the lovely flowers
Looking for a special place.

I watch them as they flutter
And wonder how it could be
Through a beautiful butterfly
Your face comes to me.

I guess that's easy to explain
A friendship warm and kind
Just like the sweet butterfly
So rare when one you find.

Welcome to my happy thoughts
Of butterflies so sweet
A dear friend that I care for
Who just can't be beat.

I take this time to tell you
You are special in every way
And send this card to let you know
I'm thinking of you today.

Power of a Friend ................

As I am awakened swiftly
From a deep and peaceful sleep
My heart is racing wildly
Like a million little feet.

The panic that I used to feel
Has turned to something new
A feeling of strength and power
That I have somehow learned from you.

You have empowered me
To take a look within
And find the love of a friend
Where fear had always been.

So, now I reach into the dark
And feel the ray of light
From the love a friend sends to me
Shinning bright into the night.

Beauty of Friendship

Friendship is a priceless gift
that cannot be bought or sold,
But its value is far greater
than a mountain made of gold.

For gold is cold and lifeless,
it can neither see nor hear
And in the time of trouble
it is powerless to cheer...

It has no ears to listen
Nor heart to understand,
It cannot bring you comfort
or reach out a helping hand.

So when you ask God for a gift
be thankful if He sends
not diamonds, pearls or riches
but the love of real true friends.

For My Best Friend

This is for you, my best friend,
the one person i can tell my soul too
Who can relate to me like no other
Who I can laugh with to no extents,
Who I can cry too when times are tough,
Who can help me with the problems of my life.

Never have you turned your back on me
Or told me I wasnt good enough
Or let me down

I don't think you know what that means to me
You have went through so much pain and you still have time
For me.
And I love you for listening even when inside YOU are dying
And I look up too you because you are strong,
and caring
and beautiful.
Even though you don't think you are.

And I hope you know that I am always here
To listen to you laugh and cry and help
In all the ways that I can
And I will try to be at least half the friend you are
To me.

I hope you know I would not be the person I am today, with out you.
My best friend.

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 my 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 favourite 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.

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful Friendship

Have you ever watched a butterfly
The beauty and the grace
That perch among the lovely flowers
Looking for a special place.

I watch them as they flutter
And wonder how it could be
Through a beautiful butterfly
Your face comes to me.


I guess that's easy to explain
A friendship warm and kind
Just like the sweet butterfly
So rare when one you find.

Welcome to my happy thoughts
Of butterflies so sweet
A dear friend that I care for
Who just can't be beat.


I take this time to tell you
You are special in every way
And send this card to let you know
I'm thinking of you today.

My Friend

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

You're not alone

You're not alone
When you have to face your monsters,

Be A Friend

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.

Friendship Is…..

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

The Gift Of Friends

There are days when
bubbling from us comes
the innocent child within,
who giggles at the little things
and wears a silly grin.

There are days when
melancholy comes to
visit for a while;
the mind feels tired, the body weak;
we have no strength to smile.

There are days when
joy abundant
grabs a hold of you and me;
wraps us up in all it"s splendor,
lifts us up and sets us free.

There are days when
sorrow wraps us
in its cloak of grief and fear,
"till our hearts ache to the breaking,
"till our eyes can"t shed a tear.

There are days when
love bestows us
with its wonderment and light;
with its beauty and its mystery,
its power and its might.

And there are days when
life rewards us
and seems to make amends
by granting us a marvelous gift,
the precious gift of Friends.

Friend And Acquaintance

There is a difference between being an acquaintance and being a friend. An acquaintance is someone whose name you know, who you see every now and then, who you probably have something in common with and who you feel comfortable around.

It’s a person that you can invite to your home and share things with. But they are people who you don’t share your life with, whose actions sometimes you don’t understand because you don’t know enough about them.

On the other hand, a friend is someone you love. Not that you are “in love” with them, but you care about them and you think about them when they are not there. The people you are reminded of when you see something they might like, and you know this because you know them so well. They are the people whose pictures you have and whose faces are in your head regardless.

Friends are the people you feel safe around because you know they care about you. They call just to see how you are doing, because a friend doesn’t need an excuse. They tell you the truth, the first time, and you do the same. You know that if you have a problem, they are there to listen.

Friends are the people who won’t laugh at you or hurt you, and if they do hurt you they try hard to make it up to you. They are the people you love, regardless of whether you realize it.

Friends are the people you cried with when you got rejected from colleges and during the last song at the prom and at graduation. They are the people that when you hug them, you don’t think about how long to hug and who’s going to be the first one to let go.

Maybe they are the people that hold the rings at your wedding, or maybe they are the people who give you away at your wedding, or maybe they are the people you marry. Maybe they are the people who cry at your wedding because they are happy or because they are proud.

They are the people who stop you from making mistakes and help you when you do. They are are the people whose hand you can hold, or you can hug or give them a kiss and not have it be awkward because they understand the things you do and they love you for them.

They stick with you and stand by you. They hold your hand. They watch you live and you watch them live and you learn from them. Your life is not the same without them.

Cup of Friendship

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.

Special Friendship Poem

Come, Walk With Me

Will you walk with me,
When days are glad
And the sun is glowing high upon the hill
Will you dance with me
When I need to laugh
Eternal joy my life to fill.

Come, will you walk with me upon the way....
To wander along
This course of life today
Seeing all to see
And dreaming as we do
Delighting in the warmth of dawn
Fresh as the morning dew.

Come, will you walk with me....
Stepping out the ups and downs
As my friend
As I will walk with you
Wandering through life's doors
Travelling twisty turns, caring as we go
Yet loving all the more.

Come, walk with me
With oneness as our goal
As we share God's love in all we do,
But, if days may come we may not understand
The pain of valleys all unknown
Then we will kneel to pray
To the One who knows.

friendship or affection."

It has no survival value; rather is one of those things
that give value to survival.
~ C. S. Lewis

May our friendship last forever;
May I sail upon your sea.
May we go through life together;
May there always be a "we."

May I be your endless sky;
May you breathe my gentle air.
May you never wonder why
Each time you look for me, I'm there.

May we be for each a smile
Like the warm, life-giving sun;
Yet when we're in pain awhile,
May our suffering be one.

May we share our special days,
The happiness of one for two;
And if we must go separate ways,
Let my love remain with you.

Blending of Two Hearts

Minutes, hours and days go by
But you're always by my side
When I'm down and feeling blue
I can always count on you.

You make me giggle, you make me laugh
You never bring up, events from my past
You accept me for who I am today
You always step in, when I start to stray.

No truer friend have I found
You always turn, my frown around
I was blessed by the Lord above
He sent one of His angels, so full of love.

My wonderful friend, in my heart you'll stay
Arm in arm through life, we'll find our way
My angel, my guardian, my loving friend
Two souls united, two hearts did blend.

A Friendship Prayer

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.

Someone we call a Friend

God made the world with a heartfull of Love,

Then He looked down from Heaven above,

And saw that we all need a helping hand,

Someone to share with, who'll understand,

The glad times and the sad times, too;

A person on whom we can always depend,

Someone we call a Friend...

Special Poem on Friendship

No matter the differences,
If we still can understand each other
That is the key to a beautiful
And a long lasting friendship...

When the world drives a wedge between us
When circumstances makes us fight
If we can't pull the trigger , hurt each other
You know you are good friends

When you are happy or when you are sad
If it is him/her you run and part
If he/she can give the meaning to your life
They are your real friends...

People may come people may go
No one makes an impact in your life
When a person comes even in your dreams
You know you got a good friend.

No matter what others say
No matter where fate takes us
If we can still keep in touch
This is our special day

No matter how much you hate
No matter how much you ignore
If he/she still make you feel warm
Celebrate everyday as "Friendship Day"

Well the world says friendship day is some day,
But as long as you keep in touch with me,
I can celebrate friendship Day, everyday...

Good Friendship Lines

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.

Friend Is....

A friend is somebody
Who knows you and likes you
Exactly the way that you are...

Someone who's special
And so close in thought
That no distance can ever seem far.

A friend understands you without any words,
Stands by you when nothing goes right...
And willingly talks over problems with you
Till they somehow just vanish from sight.

And whether you're neighbors or live miles apart,
A word from a friend gives a lift
To your heart and spirit that shows you once more
Why friendship is life's dearest gift!

A Friend Who's Always There

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 who's always there

A Friend's 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.

Need a Friend

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.

Beautiful Friendship Poem

My Special Angel

You came to me one day
An angel, I can only see
My hand you held
In spirit you are with me

You are "My Special Angel"
How beautiful the world can be
In the Heavens, on the earth
You opened up your hand for me
A flower did you hold
A message of love
Forever told

I want to fly with you
You made my life new
A butterfly, I became
A special angel, has helped me change

You are My Special Angel
So wonderful and rare
I will always be with you
In the sky and in the air

You will always be special
In my heart you will stay
You help pick me up
And send a smile to me

Friends are those who take care without any hesitation,
Who remember you without limitation and
Who love you without any communication.

Friendship is like a Tree.....
It is not MEASURED by how TALL it could be,
but how deeply the roots have grown.
==========================================
Friendship improves happiness and abates misery,
by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

You Are Here With Me

I look out to the ocean
So big and so wide
It makes me stronger
Knowing in my heart
You are at my side

I see the sunset
So beautiful to see
It is now a new day
I feel you with me

I look at the bright stars in the night
God made all of these
It makes my heart sing
When you are at my side, with me

I can climb a mountain
The clouds in the sky, are so blue
It is like a miracle
My being here with you

I see the waves come in from the sea
Life is forever, the soul takes flight
You are in the flowers and the trees
Everywhere I look, you will always be here with me.

Best Friendship Messages

It's easy to take our friendship
and each other for granted -
to forget what life would be like,
without each other to laugh with
to be with, to care about.....But

whenever I slow down and give
our friendship a thought,
I still feel that.....It's one of
the finest relationships I have and
I still see the same sentiment
reflecting in you!

You're My Friends For Life !!!

- Author Unknown -

Come, Walk With Me

Will you walk with me,
When days are glad
And the sun is glowing high upon the hill
Will you dance with me
When I need to laugh
Eternal joy my life to fill.

Come, will you walk with me upon the way....
To wander along
This course of life today
Seeing all to see
And dreaming as we do
Delighting in the warmth of dawn
Fresh as the morning dew.

Come, will you walk with me....
Stepping out the ups and downs
As my friend
As I will walk with you
Wandering through life's doors
Travelling twisty turns, caring as we go
Yet loving all the more.

Come, walk with me
With oneness as our goal
As we share God's love in all we do,
But, if days may come we may not understand
The pain of valleys all unknown
Then we will kneel to pray
To the One who knows.

Stay As True Friends

When miles come in numbers
it may seem a dream
of friendships that blossomed
that now seem supreme.

For two found a moment
as echoes they heard
that are now as miles
with just written word.

The friendships of theirs
came deep from within
as they followed their hearts
then time and agin.

The miles came quickly,
but yet they seemed slow,
for when they were together
they just didn't know.

The friendships still strive on
as miles come conclude
with letter after letter
as a friendship prelude.

For now still the friendships
of them each today
are holding fast together
in a lovingly way.

Love comes in packages
that miles can't destroy,
as they stay as true friends
as a girl and a boy.

So miles cannot dissipate
what's truly alive,
because it's the memories
that keep them alive.

Inspiring Friendship Story - Ruby's Roses

The neighborhood kids nicknamed the cranky old couple Crazy Jack and Ruby Rednose. Rumor was that they sat inside and drank whiskey all day. It was true that Jack and Ruby Jones preferred to keep to themselves. About the only words we ever heard from them were "Keep out of our rosebushes!"

The rosebushes were seventy beautiful floribunda shrubs that served as a fence between our house and theirs. The rose fence took quite a bit of abuse, since our house was the neighborhood hangout. I was eleven at the time and the oldest of six active girls. We should have played our softball games elsewhere to avoid hurting the roses, but we secretly enjoyed irritating Crazy Jack and Ruby Rednose.

Jack and Ruby had a son whom we nicknamed Crazy Jack Junior. He was due to come home from Vietnam. We heard he had been discharged because of a nervous breakdown. The neighborhood had thrown a big party for Jimmy Brown when he came home from the war, but no one offered to have a party for Crazy Jack Junior.

The day Crazy Jack Junior was scheduled to come home, we had a neighborhood softball game in our yard. Johnny McGrath was trying to catch a fly ball. He stumbled over one of Ruby Rednose's thorny rosebushes and fell on top of several more. Boy, did he yell, but the roses were the ones that really suffered. From my vantage point at second base, it looked like about ten of them were damaged pretty badly. Johnny's timing was terrible, because as he lay there swearing at the roses, the Joneses' pickup rolled into the driveway. The truck screeched to a halt and Crazy Jack Junior sprang out. He ran full speed toward Johnny.

"You little punk!" he screamed. "Look what you've done to our family's roses! You've always been trouble. I'm going to fetch my gun and shoot you!"

The next few minutes were a blur. The neighborhood kids ran for their lives. Ruby and Jack tried to restrain their son. He continued to yell threats and profanities. Ruby wasn't my favorite person, but I felt sorry for her when I saw her tearfully pleading with Crazy Jack Junior. Finally, they coaxed him inside.

Meanwhile, my sisters and I tore into our house. Breathlessly, we told Mom what had happened. She put down her sewing and scolded, "Girls, I have told you not to play softball near those bushes. Come outside right now and help me fix them."

"Mom, we thought you didn't like the Joneses," we protested. "They're mean to us. Besides, Crazy Jack Junior might shoot us."

Mom just glared at us. We followed her outside to help mend the rose fence.

While Mom examined the damaged roses, my sisters and I hung back, plotting how to get out of the thorny job. As we whispered back and forth, the Joneses' garage door opened and Ruby slowly walked out. She looked sad. And it wasn't her nose that was red, it was her eyes.

Ruby walked over to my mother. The two women stood looking at each other through the new gap in the rose fence. We girls held our breath, waiting to see who would shout first and what terrible things would be said. How much trouble would we be in when it was all over?

Suddenly my mother stepped forward and hugged Ruby. "I'm glad your son came back home," she said gently. "It must have been a horrible experience in Vietnam. We're sorry about the flowers. The girls will replace them if we can't fix them. In return for all the bother, they'll help you weed the roses this summer."

My sisters and I looked at each other in horror, but Ruby smiled at my mother through her tears. "I know we're particular about these roses," she said, "but they're very special to us. When my mother came from England, she brought one tiny part of her favorite rosebush. That was her reminder of home."

She paused a minute, then said sadly, "My mother had a magic touch with flowers. Over the years that one plant multiplied into all these bushes. Since she died, I've tried to keep them up, but I just don't have her magic touch."

Her voice was all choked up. "Mom died while Jack Junior was in Vietnam. He just found out about her death today. When he saw her rosebushes damaged, it was the last straw."

Ruby mopped at her tears. "Once we got him inside and calmed down, he admitted he's out of control. Jack just drove him to Clinton Valley to be admitted to a treatment program."

By now I felt really bad for the Jones family - what a sorrowful homecoming! I could tell my mother and sisters felt the same.

"We all enjoy the roses as much as you do. We'll be happy to help you care for them," my mother said. "You know, some people say I have a magic touch with flowers, too."

Soon both women were down on their knees talking and examining the damaged bushes together. A few weeks later, the plants all returned with vigor. My mother and Ruby worked together on the roses all summer long and many summers to follow. So did my sisters and I. A friendship formed between the families that would include countless birthdays, graduations and weddings - including Jack Junior's.

Years later, when her son left home and her husband died, Ruby became part of our family, spending many happy hours at our house. She wasn't Ruby Rednose anymore; she was Aunt Ruby. And the rose fence wasn't a fence any longer. My mother had turned it into a bridge.

True Friendship Poem

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.

A Friendship Prayer

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.

Friendship Facts...

A friend is like a flower,
a rose to be exact,
or maybe like a brand new gate
that never comes unlatched.

A friend is like an owl,
but beautiful and wise.
or perhaps a friend is like a ghost,
whose spirit never dies.

A friend is like those blades of grass
you can never mow,
standing straight, tall, and proud
in a perfect little row.

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 Have A Friend!!!

I have a friend with a loving heart
She is not blind to me, but with her soul she sees
When my tears were falling with the rain
Into my life this angel came

I have a friend sent with a prayer
To get me through the life out there
She brings in the sun forever and a day
In my room she put a chime
To make sure I would be okay

I have a friend who taught me to breathe
Life is now not just a part of the life I lead
She opened my shutters
The light came through
Into my heart, now I can live
My path I always knew

I have a friend, an angel to me
She found who I am and who I will be
A gift from God, a treasure to see
She saw the beauty which is in me.

Friendship Is…..

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

Friendly Thoughts

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.

Friends To Make Our Lives Better

Its not easy becoming a friend or making one because a friend is not a state of mind. Its real and its in your face. A friend is someone who makes your life worth its while a little more than yesterday. While everybody has their own definitions of a "friend", the long and short of it is we all need friends to make our lives better. We at TheHolidaySpot value our friendship as much as you do and would like to share our ideas of how to become an ideal friend with you, for if wasn't for you we wouldn't be where we are today.

HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY...

In friendship "honesty" is the key word. One should always be honest to his or her friends.
Don't overlook their faults, even if you have none for you are his friend!
Praise them honestly and openly.
Say you're sorry, when you hurt your friend. Don't let them assume it.

GIVE MORE THAN YOU TAKE...

Be there when they need you or you may wind up alone.
Love them unconditionally, that is the only condition. Make them feel special, because aren't we all special?
Never forget them, who wants to feel forgotten.

BE SUPPORTIVE...

Cheer them on, we all need encouragement now and then.
Encourage their dreams and aspiration, Life seems almost meaningless without them.
Your words count, use them wisely.
Use good judgement.
Wish them luck, hopefully good
Eamine your motives before you "help" out
Just be there when they need you
Really listen, a friendly ear is a soothing balm

FORGIVENESS...

Forgive them for, "To Err is Human", and you just may end up making the same mistakes in course of time..

KEEP THE FAITH...

Have faith in them. For, there is no love without trust.
Zip your lips when they confide in you

EXPRESS YOURSELF CLEARLY

Know when they need a hug, and couldn't you use one?
Offer to help, and know when " No thanks" is just politeness
Quietly disagree, noisy No's make enemies
Verbalsise your feelings

HAVE FUN...

Get together often, misery loves company, so does glee.
Talk frequently, communication is important.

Enjoying your friendship is the order of the day. So its not what we call a friendship if you don't feel right.
Always remember a friendship is worth it when you are able to enjoy the amazing relationship with no holds barred. Its a mutual bond for life that you cant give up.
