friendship

  • Friends are like eagles, you don't find them in flocks.

  • The gold of friendship is a magic thing, the more we spend on each other the richer we become.

  • 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 makes the world we live in 
    A Better and Happier Place. 

  • The only way to have a friend is to be one.

  • Happiness is in the comfortable companionship of friends.
    --- Pam Brown

  • Friendship is to be purchased only by friendship.

friends - always there

  • Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble.

  • Friends in your life are like pillars on your porch. Sometimes they hold you up, and sometimes they lean on you. Sometimes it's just enough to know they're standing by.

  • A friend is the one who comes in when the whole world has gone out.
    ---Annonymous

  • Share A Marble
    A friend of mine once said to me,
    This marble is for you.
    For I was sure I lost all mine,
    When life became so blue.
    Now I know I have one,
    And what to share with you.
    So when you think
    You've "lost your marbles",
    you know it won't be true
    This is given to you, in fun,
    For now you know
    You have "least ONE!!!"

  • If I Could * 
    If I could catch a rainbow ..... 
    I would do it just for you 
    And share with you its beauty 
    On the days you're feeling blue .. 
    If I could build a mountain 
    You could call your very own 
    A place to find serenity A place to be alone ~~~~~~~ 
    If I could take your troubles 
    I would toss them in the sea ~~~~~~ 
    But all these things I'm finding 
    Are impossible for me, 
    I cannot build a mountain 
    Or catch a rainbow fair 
    But let me be what I know best 
    A friend that's always there.
