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.

What is Friend?

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.

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.

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.
