Here are some friendship poems I've found over time, either from
receiving them myself, or finding them on different websites.
Whether you're going through some rough times and want to thank
a good friend for all they've done, or you just feel like starting
one of those "make a wish" chain letters, here you go.
Friendship
-by Teena Adkins Egan
Sometimes, it's hard for me to express,
In words, how I truly feel.
To have a friend, like you, I'm blessed.
For our friendship is so real.
This friendship, I hold dear to me,
I know that it is unique.
With you, I am myself; completely free,
Whether I am strong or weak.
We never really had to work at it,
It just came so naturally.
Our friendship is indefinite,
We are in harmony.
So no matter if it's been 5, 10 or 20 years,
We will always be in touch.
To share our life's challenges, happiness,
And our fears,
Because our Friendship means so much.
Friendship Is....

Friendship is a bond
that holds together tight.
The mysteries of love,
When things just don't go right.
It's understanding unsaid words.
It's putting first other's concerns.
Friendship is a bond,
that helps us through the night.
Friendship is a joy,
that doesn't cost a cent.
It's given freely of the heart,
that way that it is meant.
It's guiding love from deep within.
Desiring to give and give again.
Friendship is a joy,
that's surely heaven sent.
Friendship is a tool,
that keeps us free of war.
It heals the deepest wounds,
and doesn't leave a scar.
It's seeing others' point of view.
Accepting differences 'tween me and you.
Friendship is a tool,
that helps to keep us pure.
Friendship is the gift,
that I now give to you.
The tiniest of offerings,
in hopes to see you through.
The times when strength may not be there.
Just think of me and know I care.
God must have known there
would be times
We'd need a word
of cheer
Someone to praise
a triumph
Or brush away
a tear.
He must have known we'd
need to share
The joy of
"little things"
In order to
appreciate
The happiness
life brings.
I think He knew our
troubled hearts
Would sometimes
throb with pain
At trials and
misfortunes
Or some goals we
can't attain.
He knew we'd need
the comfort
Of an
understanding heart
To give us strength
and courage
To make a fresh,
new start.
He knew we'd need
companionship
Unselfish...lasting...true,
And so God answered the
heart's great need
With a
CHERISHED FRIEND
....like you.

A friend is someone who brightens your day with a smile,
a warm hello, or gentle words from the heart.
A friend is a precious gift to be cherished
and nurtured. A friend is a treasure beyond worth.
I am so grateful to call you my friend!!

YOU ARE WORTHY
by: Nancye Sims
Do not undermine your worth
By comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different
That each of us is special.
Do not set your goals
By what other people deem important.
Only you know what is best for you.
Do not take for granted
The things closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would your life.
For without them, life is meaningless.
Do not let your life slip through your fingers
By living in the past nor for the future.
By living your life one day at a time,
You live all the days of your life.
Do not give up
When you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over
Until the moment you stop trying.
It is a fragile thread
That binds us to each other.
Do not be afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances
That we learn to be brave.
Do not shut love out of your life
By saying it is impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love;
The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly.
In addition,
The best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Do not dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams is to be without hope,
To be without hope is to be without purpose.
Do not run through life
So fast that you forget not only where you have been
But also where you are going.
Life is not a race but a journey
To be savored each step of the way.
So smile.... and let the sun shine through.
For there's someone,
somewhere, watching over you.
Thank you for believing in me
when I found it difficult
to believe in myself...
for saying what I've needed to hear sometimes,
instead of what I've wanted to hear...
for siding with me...
and for giving me another side to consider.
Thank you for opening yourself up to me...
for trusting me with your thoughts
and disappointments and dreams...
for knowing you can depend on me
and for asking my help when you've needed it.
Thank you for putting so much
thought and care and imagination
into our friendship...
for sharing so many nice times
and making so many special memories with me.
Thank you for always being honest with me
being kind to me...being there for me.
Thank you for being
a friend to me
in so many meaningful ways.

Sometimes in this life
we are lucky enough to meet
a new and valued friend.
A friend is someone with whom
we can talk about all our joys and truimphs
and our sorrows.
A friend will laugh with us,
cry with us,
accept us and love us
as we are
without trying to change us.
A friend will never try to judge us.
A friend will forgive us
when we are in the wrong,
even if we cannot forgive ourselves.
A friend will always be there for us.
A friend will share in our dreams...
and fantasies...
We can have more than enough
acquaintances,
but we can never have
too many friends.
An acquaintance is for today,
but a friend is forever.
A friend is someone to treasure.
I thank you for being my friend.
~I love you~
