* Friends In Love *

With serene desire in the warmth of friendship we stand.
Secure in being wanted and needed as we declare, "I am."

We share the beaming smiles by the day and whispers by night
While reveling in complex simplicity and beautiful sights,

We surf the crest of the waves laughing at simple things,
While playfully erasing the memories of life's bitter happenings.

We'll guide and direct when the other loses their way...
Sometimes finding an assurance offered in "I'm here to stay."

Sharing our strength and comfort when there's a time to cry,
Or feeling helpless at being unable to explain, "what and why".

Understanding when patience seems to get suddenly short,
Knowing the imperfections, but committed to the loving more.

Having courage to say, "You're wrong" when it's needed most,
But at other times complimenting, encouraging...even to boast.

We stand strong in protection against the dangers and ills
Drawing upon the strength of sheer determination and will.

Extending the healing found in love at times of illness or plight
Or sometimes just the gentle assurance everything is alright.

Yet, even more, we delight in the "me" of me and the "you" of you
As we nestle in the steadfastness of love and friendship found true.

 

* A Friend is like a Flower *

A friend is like a flower,
a rose to be exact,
Or maybe like a brand new gate
that never comes unlatched.

A friend is like an owl,
both beautiful and wise.
Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost,
whose spirit never dies.

A friend is like those blades of grass
you can never mow,
standing straight, tall, and proud
in a perfect little row.

A friend is like a heart that goes
strong until the end.
Where would we be in this world
if we didn't have a friend?

 


 

* A Real friend *

(This one's for you searchin)

A true friend is hard to describe,
as the meaning of it comes out from the deepest heart inside.

A real friend will be there when you need a helping hand,
and a friend will always be there when you need
someone to stand.

No matter what they'll make you strong,
even if you are not right, they'll never make you feel you are wrong.

A friend is whom you can share your secrets with,
wihout being afraid that they'll spread it.

They'll always be there when you need to walk,
they'll never leave you when you just want to talk.

Real friends are people who never pretend,
a real friend will always have a hand to lend.

Real friends are people who will wipe away the tears
A real friend is someone that chases away the fears

A real friend is one who cares for you,
a friend is one who accept the things you do.

A friend is one who laugh at the jokes you tell,
a friend is one who understand you so well.

But a friend like this is hard to "search",
as everyone is busy on this earth.

Yet, i found a friend who has been so dear ,
he makes me feel like he's always near.

I promise i'll never let this friendship end ,
no matter what we'll always be your friends.

thanx for being there to pick me up when i fell :)


* For Friends Like You *

I never thought that there would be,
friends that I would never see.

Friends out there in cyberspace
spread throughout the human race.

They have space inside my heart,
I hope we never grow apart.

A special guy that would show me,
just how special 'net friends could be.

That real sweet guy that I adore,
for whom I care yet more and more.

Then that big bad dude up north,
who gives a laugh with a big snort.

A canuck that lives so near,
his Canadian homeland he holds dear.

A cali gal so sure and true,
I'm so glad to have a friend like you.

A maritime gal with so much charm,
who'd never do you any harm.

A darling lady, no plain Jane,
who's kind words push 'way the rain.

Who would ever have thought that I'd
have these friends, some 'cross the tide.

Oh wouldn't it be just a ball
if we'd get together, one and all?

In my long arms I'd hug them near,
and tell each one that they are dear.

We share our hopes, we share our dreams,
we share most everything it seems.

So thank you friends across the 'net,
you mean more than you might bet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


I wrote this poem to a friend I have known since I was a lil girl. We have had our ups and downs, but I have and always will love her."  (keddle)

There is that friend

There is that friend
that is so much a part of you, that you feel alone
just thinking about the thought of her not being there.

There is that friendship that has so much
that it is based on that nothing
could ever dissolve or even threaten it.

There is that friend
with whom you share so much history that one fight or
misunderstanding rolls off nearly instantaneously,
because one issue is so insignificant,
and could never come close to shattering the bond.

There is that friendship
that cannot always be explained, but only understood
and cherished by the two people that share it.
There is that friend
that means so much to you, that you honestly believe
you would stop a final exam, break a date with your crush of five years,
and stop the world if you could
just so you could be there to lend a shoulder to cry on,
offer a hug, or spend three hours just sitting with her
if that would make it at all better.

There is that friendship
that has lasted through ten or more years of your life,
and is still growing.

There is that friend
who you can talk to about something that happened when
you were eight years old,
and she can re-live that moment so vividly along with you..

There is that friend
that knows you as well as you know yourself,
and finds it special that you know her just as well.

There is that friend
who can make you smile through your tears,
or cry out of happiness.

There is that friend
who is always there for you,
and just realizing that she would be there
is more than enough to make it better.

There is that friend
who cares about clearing away your tears
no less if you are crying over absolutely nothing
or over something she may have done to hurt you.

I have one friend like that,
and it is that friend that will always occupy
a precious part of my heart.
:)
