Treasured Friendship
In trust and harmony
our friendship, you and me
Treasured times together
a fond-ship that lasts forever
Looking forward to those special times
we'd meet somewhere nice
when the weather is fine
We'd share our secrets, yours and mine
Yes, pleasant and happy times.

True Friendship
If you're feeling joyful or sometimes bleak
Your presence I would always seek
We lend each other special strengths
we're with each other for the length.
We seek to build each other up
in joyful loyalty and trust.
We like to have those special times
where we share our secrets__ yours and mine
True friendship lasts forever.

True Qualities in Friendship
You have a say and I have mine
we may not fully agree all the time
You don't have to meet my every need
that is a kindness, love indeed.
Your manner fosters special trust
not given to pride contempt or lust
That is a friendship that will work
where discontentment does not lurk.

Wisdom In Friendships
Healthy Friendships
People are not always at their best
but on these qualities our friendships
should rest:
Forgiveness when one speaks a word out
of line
but it should not be necessary all the time
Some interests to be shared and ventured
Pleasant times that we can treasure__
that does not have to be without measure
And occasional time for adventure.

A Better Friendship
The last time that you spoke to me
to get things off your chest
when you forgot them afterwards
I was not feeling at my best.
I'd like to have some lighter times
for laughter and for fun
some peaceful relaxation
like when our friendship begun.
We're living in a world of stress
you know that would be less
if we value each other's company
in ways that make us free.
Enjoying certain activities
not just sitting down
we could enjoy a walk in a park
with nature all around.
There's something about activities
they make us forget our cares.
So does placing them on the shoulders
of our Mighty God upstairs.

Choose Wisely
Once I had some friendships
that went like sour grapes
They used to be so sweet they really were a treat.
Take care with whom you share your secrets
and aspirations in life
Make sure it is a proven friend who will not give you strife.
If life becomes too much for them
do not your confidence lend
for their moods can be unstable
even at your table.
Make them a casual acquaintance
and do not give them entrance
to the inner circle of your heart
be careful from the start
to see their true nature not just at their best
Make sure they are consistent so you have rest.
And if you can trust them you're truly blessed
you've found a friend indeed.

Friends and True Friends
True Friends are the Sunshine of Life
– Not hardship and strife –
Some Friendships need to be Reviewed,
so Life can Become New.
If people offend repeatedly again and again,
don’t hold on to them to the end –
Trust that you will find True Friends.
Some people continually make you feel sad,
decide for friendships that make you glad.

Friends
As we walk our path of life,
We meet people everyday.
Most are simply met by chance.
But, some are sent our way.
These become special friends
Whose bond we can't explain;
The ones who understand us
And share our joy and pain.
Their love contains no boundaries.
So, even when we are apart.
Their presence enhances us
With a warmth felt in the heart.

Cherished Friend
God must have known there would be times
we'd need a word of cheer
Someone to praise a triumph
or brush away a tear.
He must have known we'd need to share
the joy of "little things"
In order to appreciate
the happiness life brings.
He knew we'd need the comfort
of an understanding heart
To give us strength and courage
to make a fresh, new start.
He knew we'd need companionship
unselfish...lasting...true,
And so God answered the heart's great need
with a Cherished Friend....like you.

Happy Birthday Friend
A brand new day is dawning
And as it gets its start,
I want you know I am thinking
Of you with warmth in my heart.
I hope your birthday is special
No one deserves it more than you!
You are such a kind-hearted person,
It shows in everything that you do
So, have a perfect morning
And an even lovelier day...
May happiness surround you
Always.... not just for today!

Friends Are Angels
Our friends are like angels
Who brighten our days
In all kinds of wonderful
Surprising ways.
Their thoughtfulness comes
As a gift from above
And we feel we're surrounded
By warm, caring love
Friends are like angels
Without any wings
Blessing our lives
With the most precious things.

Great Friends
Great friends are such a treasure,
and are often far and few.
So when we count our blessings,
we count great friends, like you.
Loving families and true friends
have immeasurable worth.
And bring the most true happiness
that one can know on earth.
So we thank you for your friendship,
and we thank dear God above,
for giving us great friends like you,
to cherish, and to love.
