and needs to be repaired,
I'll be there because I care!

or any time you may be scared,
I'll be there because I care!

For everything that makes you cry,
for everytime you shed a tear,
I'll be there because I care!

when you don't feel like talking but
just need someone here,
I'll be there because I care!

and times are hard to persevere,

when you feel no one is aware,
I'll be there because I care! !

or things seem pointless and unfair,
I'll be there because I care!

In each season in your life,
in all the smiles or burdens you bare,
I'll be there because I care!

In your joys, your questions, your tragedys,
in your happiness, silliness, your
despair,
I'll be there because I care!

Because I am your friend,
I'll be the one, the one that cares!

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.

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
===============================================

Friendship with oneself is very important because without
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.

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.
