As we walk our path of life,
we meet people every day.
Most are simply met by chance,
but some are sent our way.

These become the 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 apart,
their presence still embraces us
with a warmth felt in the heart.

this love becomes a passageway
where even miles disappear.
And so these friends life sends our way
remain forever near.

..Friends Forever..

When days are filled with sunshine
How close we hold a friend,
It’s good to share the laughter
And dreams that have no end.

But when the days are shadowed,
And touched with pain or grief,
The bonds of friendship tighten
Almost beyond belief.

The burdens aren’t so heavy
When someone takes your hand,
And not a word is needed
For true friends to understand.

The world would be more lonely
In sunny hours or grey,
Without the bonds of friendship
To help us every day!

You came into my life one day
And our friendship began to grow,
How much you have come to mean to me
I don’t think you’ll ever know.

Sometimes its hard to put into words
All the things that I want to say,
But I want you to know how much that you’re loved,
Even more with each passing day.

It’s the little things that you say to me
And the laughter we always share,
It’s also the way you have of showing
Me that you really care.

As life goes on , I pray that God
Will forever keep us close,
It’s the little things in life for me
And loving people that mean the most.

Your friendship just picks me up
When I am feeling so very down
Your smile will brighten the way
When all I know to do is frown

*****

Your friendship thrills my heart
Your love fills my heart with glee
Like a soft warm blanket of love
Your friendship wraps around me

*****

When I am feelings so very weak
Your love eases my lonely fears
You share your strength with me
Your friendship dries all my tears

*****

Your friendship causes my heart
To soar high above the mountain
For you bring out the best in me
You’re refreshing like a fountain

*****

And I know that I have touched
Someone so full of God’s grace
For you have touched my spirit
Ere I reach out to touch your face

*****

I know that our friendship
Will never, never perish
For you are my best friend
With you I feel so cherished

Don’t count your true friends on a bright sunny day, when the sky is blue and smiles come so easily…

Instead, wait for a storm, when the clouds are dark and the day grows cold, and laughter is not heard in your heavy heart.

Then when a friend comes and stands beside you and lifts your spirits to the sky and laughter is in your heart, you know that they deserve the name “Friend”.

Thank you, my friend, for braving the storms with me and for making the sunny days so much brighter!

Inside my heart there is a place
Reserved for only you.
It holds the joy you bring to me
And all the blessings, too.

I just wanted you to know
That it will always be.
A place where I will hold you near
And recall each memory.

Today I said a prayer for you
And thanked the Lord above.
For sending you to fill my heart
With so much joy and love

I hope that you will stay right here
And we never have to part.
But no matter what the future holds
You’ll still be in my heart.
