FRIENDS!!I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.I love you not only for what you have made of yourself but for what you are making of me!
First off, I want to thank all my friends. The ones I see face to face. The ones I used to see face to face. And the ones that I haven't met personally but feel like I've known forever. You have seen me through good times and bad times. Happy and sad. You have seen me laugh and seen me cry. I don't know how I got so lucky to have you guys on my side but I thank God every day that I do. I love you guys.
To A Friend by: Grace Stricker Dawson
You entered my life in a casual way and saw at a glance what I needed. There were others who passed me or met me each day, but never a one of them heeded. Perhaps you were thinking of other folks more or chance simply seemed to decree it. I know there were many such chances before, but the others-well they didn't see it.
You said just the thing that I wished you would say, and you made me believe that you meant it. I held up my head in the old gallant way, and resolved you should ever repent it. There are times when encouragement means such alot, and a word is enough to convey it; There were others who could have as easy as not-but, just the same, they didn't say it.
There may have been someone who could've done more to help me along though I doubt it. What I needed was cheering, and as always before they had let me plod onward without it. You helped to refashion the dream of my heart and made me turn eagerly to it. There were others who might have (I question that part) but, after all, they didn't do it.
The Other Half OF Me is dedicated to all the friends I've had to move away from. Even though we may be miles apart, you still have a place in my life. I miss you guys.
The Other Half Of Me
by:Ryan Schuler
I keep those happy moments stored within my soul. I've tried to forget them but I can't let go. Those were the greatest moments, but quickly they went by. Remembering the happiness makes me want to cry. What happened to those days, when we were so young and free? I was part of you and you were part of me. Time can heal a wound but also cause great pain. Time took you away and now we're far apart. But I will always keep you; deep within my heart. I've learned so much from living, not from what I'm told. I've learned that life can bring great change and sometimes be quite cold. Our friendships' not as strong as once it used to be. But remember that you'll always be, the other half of me.
If it weren't for friends have you ever thought there wouldn't be shoulders to cry on, gossip to laugh at, or a hug when you need one. You couldn't have possibly accomplished half of what you have already and your goals would go untouched without a friend standing behind you when times get rough. Your past laughter would be non-existent without a friend to share it with.
If it weren't for friends who would you run to with your secrets, who would you ask for advice? Who would be there for you to help you grieve over losses or to help celebrate your victories? Who would pick you up when you stumble and bring you back to reality when you get too high?
If it weren't for friends where would you find the love, strength, and courage to get you through the day? Where would you find the compassion and trust that we all look for? How would you find yourself? Face it, friends are a necessity in life and I thank God that he gave me the ones he did.
