It's nice to have a friend like you
With whom my heart can share
Its little hopes and fondest dreams
Because you really care.
It's good to know I need but call
In case my foot should slip,
You're like a lighthouse in the fog
That guides my little ship.
It's nice to have a friend like you
Within this "vale of tears,"
Someone who never changes,
However long the years,
Who sees beyond the features,
And all the outward show,
And needs no words to read the thoughts
That only friends can know,
It's nice to have a friend like you,
Forever and a day,
Who through the good times and the bad,
Will never go away.
No matter what the future holds,
Whatever life may send,
I'll always know I have been blessed
...Because you are my friend!

A true friend never gets in your way-
unless you happen to be on your way down.
Arnold H. Glasow

A real friend helps us think our best thoughts,
do our noblest deeds, be our finest selves.

The language of friendship is not words, but meanings.

SPRING RENEWAL

Come, sit in the garden with me, dear friend,
And lift up your face to feel the warm sun;
The gentle soft breeze will keep your brow cool,
The fragrance of flowers has just now begun.
Come, listen with me in the garden, dear friend,
The bird song is offered in concert today;
As tunes of the insects are humming for you,
Bright Madame Butterfly flaunts her array.
Remember with me in the garden, dear friend,
Our days filled with love, with friendship and joy;
Memories fresher than this warm Spring morn
Bloom in our hearts to recall and enjoy.
Come, lean upon me in the garden, dear friend,
Surrounded by warmth and beauty and love;
Take rest here until your strength shall return,
Feel God's healing presence fill you from above.

Friends will not only live in harmony, but in melody.
Henry David Thoreau

The friend who holds your hand and says the wrong thing
is made of dearer stuff than the one who stays away.
Barbara Kingsolver

FRIENDS

Friends are very precious things
Sent by God above,
To show how very much He cares
And to express His love.

Friends are made to cherish
And treat with loving care,
To multiply our pleasures
And all our burdens share.

I thank God for your friendship,
It means so much to me;
And may we walk together
Throughout eternity.

FRIENDS
Friends are forever,
They laugh, they love, they share
Each other's thought and words,
And most of all, they care.
Friends can come and go
And never be apart,
Because they keep
Each other's smiles
Deep within their heart.
Friends can laugh and talk and cry
And think of lovely times gone by,
But most of all-
They love until they die.

BE A FRIEND TODAY

There always is a friend in need
Along life's lonely way;
Don't count on him to ask you,
Just be there for him today.

Just knowing there is "someone"
Is often all it takes
To lift a body's spirits
And a loyal friendship makes.

A smile, a little laughter,
A letter that you send,
Can make a world of difference
At a time one needs a friend.

An arm to proudly lean on
In times of stress or strife,
Can truly be a blessing
On the road we know as life.
