TRUE FRIEND

A pal is one

With whom you can have fun

Who'll listen to you and talk

With whom you can share a joke

One you can drink with

And who with you will dine

One with whom all will look rosy

All pretty and all fine...

But when comes adversity

You'll seldom find him by your side

And even if stay does he,

Not long will he abide.

A true friend is one

With whom you can talk

'bout all under the sun

With whom you can laugh and joke

Drink, dine and have fun

And who to you will lend a ear

With him all will be Okey doke'.

Then, when hardship knocks...

You'll find him by your side

Always.

You he'll never leave

But try best to you guide

When you sigh, he'll too heave

When you fail to succeed

He'll try to bring to fruition

Your deed

When you fall sick

He'll bring relief

When the whole world mocks,

He'll stand by your belief

If all else the other way looks

He'll share your grief

Even if harm befalls ye

He'll stand in its way

And will not hesitate even a bit

To endanger his life, to lay down it.

And prove that a friend in need

Is a friend indeed!

Such a friend is hard to come by

Who'll laugh with you, with you who'll cry

So if ever one you get,

Try to be worthy of your mate

And see that never breaks the bond

That you with him ties fond.

UNKNOWN FRIENDSHIP

first--sarcasm fills the air
striking remarks then follows.
small grins, dubious eyebrows,
oh--let the arguments begin!
time passes by...
only acquiring the habit we have begun.
though the longer the mockery is,
the harder it is revealing each other's identity.
...ironically--my only goal is to uncover the real "you."
unfortunately, there's just too many sarcasm,
and barely little of the real us...
I asked if we could change it,
you said "yes--we can."
deciding that nature will take its place
we set aside our worries and proceed with life.
while in our minds,
there's still a boundary keeping us apart.
will our friendship ever be at ease?
...in my mind
I hope
I pray.

A FRIEND

A friend is like a shade tree

Beside a summer way.

A friend is like the sunshine

That makes a perfect day.

A friend is like a flower

That's worn close to the heart.

A friend is like a treasure

With which one will not part.

SOUL'S TREASURE

A Friend is a Treasure

A friend is someone we turn to,

when our spirits need a lift.

A friend is someone we treasure,

for our friendship is a gift.

A friend is someone who fills our lives,

with beauty, joy and grace.

And make the world we live in,

a better and happier place.

JUST BEING FRIENDS

"Friendship happens in that special moment

when someone reaches out to another,

trusts, comforts, believes in another,

and makes a special difference

that no one else can make".

FRIENDSHIPS COME AND FRIENDSHIPS GO

Friendships come and Friendships go Like wave upon the sand
Like day and night
Like birds in flight
Like snowflakes when they land
But you and I are something else
Our friendship's here to stay
Like weeds and rocks and dirty socks
It never goes away! 

A BEST FRIEND

A best friend

is always there,

whether you need advice,

or a pep talk,

or even a shoulder to cry on.

A best friend

listens with her heart

and is always honest with you,

even though the truth

may not be

what you want to hear.

A best friend

knows all your secrets,

understands your fears

shares your dreams.

A best friend

never stops believing in you

even if you give up

on yourself.

you are

that kind of friend

to me.

And no matter what happens,

you always will be.

You are my best friend....

my forever friend.

FRIEND

A friend is a person
to laugh and cry with,
An inspiration,
Someone who lends a helping hand,
though friends may not be forever,
And they may not end up together,
the memories of a true friendship will
last forever.
A friend is not a shadow nor a servant
But someone who hold
a piece of a person in his heart.
Someone who shares a smile,
Someone who brightens up your day
What makes a person a friend?
Is by saying your Love will stay.

I SOMETIMES THINK THAT I COULD BE ALONE

I sometimes think that I could be alone:

Really alone, with neither God nor friends.

The people near me then might well be stone:

Just faces on a frieze that never ends 

And I would travel in my mind towards death,

A world within a world sealed like a tomb.

My thoughts would be as silent as my breath,

And, like my breath, expire at my doom.

Such thoughts would make me shudder, were not you

A world where I may enter and find rest.

A rock gives way within, and I walk through

To be in laughing eyes a welcome guest.

Thank God I have you, friend, that I might stay

And be as I could be no other way.
