For all The little friendship things between just you and me.
For the closeness way down deep that comes
with trust and honesty.

For the ordinary, everyday, “just-called-to-say” surprises,
For promises you keep and “cause-you-love-me” compromises.

For “I care so much about you”, and “I’ll be there till the end.”
For God who blessed my life with such a special friend.

Somehow in this great big world
I found my way to you,
my friend across the computer lines
my heart, my soul, that’s who.

You always make me smile
with the mail you send my way.
You never fail to drop a line
each and every day.

Whenever I have hurried home
with something, I must share,
I find it just so comforting
that you are always there.

Encouragement you give me,
and a friendship that is true.
I’m glad my soul while reaching out
found someone…like you.

A friend is someone special
who you find along life’s path,
One who you can tell your fears
and know…they will not laugh.

A friend’s the one who call you up
and is sad when you’re not there,
Someone you can count on
and any secret share.

No one’s truly certain
just how a friendship grows,
yet surely, slowly, through the years
a true friend is disclosed.

My dear and much beloved friend
My best regards to you I send,
And from a heart sincere and true
All happiness I’m wishing you.

May you be free from all distress
And meet with real and true success,
May no misfortune come to you,
May all your friends prove kind and true.

But should your earthly friends depart
Remember still there is one heart
That beats for you with tender love;
This is your eternal friend above.

May God ‘from whom all blessings flow’,
His benefits on you bestow
And save and keep you, day by day,
In His own good and pleasant way.

Let us in God put all our trust,
And seek His blessed Kingdom first,
To Him be true, and we shall meet
Some day upon the golden street.

When I cry you help me out
When I’m happy you hear me shout
When I grin you know I’m really mad
because you are my best friend
You can tell when I’m sad

You’re there in thick and thin
You’re my best friend
You hear me out when I want to talk
You help me out when I get mad
You are the bestest friend I’ve ever had

So hear me out when I say
You’re the light in my day
You are the moon in my night
You shine very bright
You are the bestest friend I have
and I miss you

Yesterday’s tears build a river,
Washing the soul of its pain…
Cleansing the heart and mind,
Like a gentle sweet spring rain.

When you feel you have cried your river
And the throat aches from tears shed
And the mind is exhausted from feeling
Or the heart feels it is now dead…

Raise your eyes to the skies and recall
How beautiful a full moon can be.
See the stars shining gently on us all,
And remember how good friends can be.

Call that friend you know is there,
Waiting to help you escape your pain,
The one who does not judge, but listens,
So you may one day love again!

Life without friendship
is like the dawn without the sun.

Life without friendship
is like the sky without the moon
when the evening has begun.

Life without friendship
is like a rose without rain.

Life without friendship
just wouldn’t be the same.

Life without friendship
is like a ship without a sea.

Life without friendship
just could not be
without a friend like you for me.

Once the package of friendship
has been opened,
it can never be closed.
It is a constant book always written…
waiting to be read…
and enjoyed.

We may have our disagreements…
we may argue…
we may concern one another…
friendship is a unique bond…
that lasts through it all…

A part of me is put into my friends…
some it is my humor…
some it is my listening ear…
some it is real life experiences…
some it is my romanticism…
but with all, it is friendship.

Friendships forged are a construct,
stronger than steel built as a foundation…
necessary for life…
and necessary for love.

Friends, you and me…
you brought another friend…
and then there were 3…
We started our group…
Our circle of friends…
and like that circle…
there is no beginning or end…

Once in a while you find a friend
Who loves you right from the start,
And the friendship is so true and right
It warms your deepest heart.

Once in a while that friendship lasts
A whole long lifetime through.
Once in a while it happens like that,
Like it happened with me and you!

Thanks For Being My Friend!

They say a friend is someone who is always there for you,
To share in your life’s laughter and to cheer you when you’re blue.

Someone who, with word or deed brightens many days,
Someone who can warm your heart with understanding ways.

I say a friend is all these things each quality I have seen,
In the very special friend of mine, that you’ve so often been!

Thank you for being my special friend!
