Lovely Friendship Poem !!

Sweet things are easy 2 buy,

But sweet people are difficult to find.

Life ends when u stop dreaming,

hope ends when u stop believing,

Love ends when u stop caring,

Friendship ends when u stop sharing.

So share this with whom ever u consider a friend.

To love without condition, To talk without intention

To give without reason, And to care without expectation

Is the heart of a true Friend.....

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

I love you... !!

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

What Do We Want From A Friend?

That is a question we often will ask.
And, what do we need from a friend?
Loyalty, we know that is true.
But, is that enough in the end?

We know there must be trust
So secrets we can safely share.
And, when we are sad and hurt
That someone is there to care.

We want a friend to feel our joy
When happiness comes our way.
When we complete a difficult chore.
It’s a cheering friend that “makes our day”.

We want to know three will be a hand
Help out to us when trouble brings on fear.
When everything in life feels so empty
We need to feel their spirit hover near.

But, along with all the rest of these,
It must include a special kind of love.
Hard to explain, but, one that you know
Comes as a blessing from heaven above.

So, if you have found a special one
Who shares these things with you,
Make sure your words are always kind
And deeds are helpful that you do.

While friendship bounds may feel strong
They are also very fragile, it is true.
A thoughtless word, an unkind deed,
And a friends heart can be broken by you.

More Than A Friend . . .

You're more than a friend
I felt it from the start
Something gripped inside me
And wrapped around my heart

I can't explain what happened
Nor do I care to try
Should I act upon my urge
Or do I let it pass by?

I try not to analyze
What fate has in store
Although I have my wishes
For what's behind the door

Maybe I'm a fool
for believing what I feel
it could be just "a thing"
But yet it seems so real

As long days pass me by
Time will only tell
If you and I are meant to be
Fate will wish us well

So as I wait for answers
Your friend I will always be
Loving you from a distance
As you're a friend to me . .

The Light Of Friendship

I've seen the light
And it's in you,
In everything you are
And in everything you do.

It's a perfect light
That shines for all to see.
It radiates from you
And has pierced the heart of me.

The light is from a friend.
It's a light that keeps me warm.
It lets me know how loved I am,
And keeps me safe from harm.

To you my friend I am thankful,
In each and every way.
For you lift my spirits up,
With every passing day.

To know that you are there for me,
It makes me feel alive.
Because it is your friendship's light,
Upon which my love thrives.

Thank you isn't good enough,
But they're the only words I know.
It is your light of friendship,
That gives my world its glow.

- Sweety
