Friends Are Like Angels
Our friends are like angels,
Who brighten our days.
In all kinds of wonderful,
Magical ways.
Their thoughtfulness comes,
As a gift from above.
And we feel we're surrounded,
By warm, caring love.
Like upside-down rainbows,
Their smiles bring the sun.
And they fill ho-hum moments,
With laughter and fun.
Friends are like angels,
Without any wings.
Blessing our lives,
With the most precious things.

There's a Miracle called Friendship
That dwells within the heart,
And you don't know how it happens
Or when it gets its start.
But the happiness it brings you
Always gives a special lift,
And you realize that friendship
Is God's precious gift.

Take Care of Your Friends
Friend is a word that I don't throw around
Though it's used and abused, I still like the
sound,
I save it for people who've done right by me
And I know I can count on, if ever need be.
Some of me friends drive big limousines
Owns ranches and banks and visit with queens,
And some of my friends are up to their neck
In overdue notes and can't write a check.
They're singers or ropers or writers of prose
And others, God bless'em, can't blow their own
nose!
I guess bein' friends don't don't have nothin' to
do
With talent or money or knowin' who's who.
It's a comf'terbul feelin' when don't have to
care,
'Bout chosin' your words for bein' quite fair.
'Cause friends'll just listen and let go on by
Those words you don't mean and not bat an eye.
It makes a friend happy to see your success,
They're proud of yer good side and forgive all the
rest.
And that ain't so easy, all of the time,
Sometimes I get crazy and seem to go blind!
Yer friend just might have to take you on home,
Or remind you sometime, that you're not alone.
Or ever so gently pull you back to the ground,
When you think you can fly, with no one around.
A hug or a shake, whichever seems right
Is the high point of givin', I'll tell ya tonight,
All wordly riches and tributes of men,
Can't hold a candle to the worth of a friend!

If I could catch a Rainbow
I would do it just for you
And share with you it's Beauty
On the days your'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 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.

All the wealth of the World could not buy you a
Friend.
Nor pay you for the loss of one.
Who Hath A Friend With Whom To Share -
Hath Double Cheer and Half o' Care.
" A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart,
and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words."

" But friendship is precious, not only in the shade,
but in the sunshine of life; and thats to a benevolent arrangement of things,
the greater part of life is sunshine. "
- Thomas Jefferson
" The happiest moments my heart knows are those in
which it is pouring forth it's affections to a few esteemed characters."
- Thomas Jefferson
" A Friend is someone who reaches for your hand,
but touches your heart. "

"And a youth said, Speak to us of Friendship.
And he answered, saying:
Your friend if your needs answered:
He is your field which you sow with love and reap with
thanksgiving.
And he is your board and your fireside.
For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek
him for peace.
When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the "nay"
in your own mind, nor do you withhold the "ay".
And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen
to his heart;
For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all
desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is
unclaimed.
When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
For that which you love most in him may be clearer
in his abstance, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the
plain.
And let there be no purpose in friendship save the
deepening of the spirit.
For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its
own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is
caught.
And let your best be for your friend.
If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know
the flood also.
For what is your friend that you seek him with hours
to kill?
Seek him always with hours to live.
For it is his to fill your need, but not your
emptiness.
And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter,
and sharing of pleasures.
For in the dew of little things the heart finds its
morning and is refreshed."

A FOREVER FRIEND
Sometimes in life, you find a special friend;
Someone who changes your life just by being part of it.
Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop;
Someone who makes you believe that there really is
good in the world.
Someone who convinces you that there really is an
unlocked door just waiting for you to open it.
This is Forever Friendship.
When you're down, and the world seems dark and empty,
Your forever friend lifts you up in spirit,
and makes that dark and empty world suddenly bright and full.
Your forever friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times,
and the confused times.
If you turn and walk away, your forever friend follows.
If you lose your way, your forever friend guides you and
cheers you on.
Your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that
everything is going to be okay.
And if you find such a friend, you feel happy and complete,
because you need not worry,
You have a forever friend for life, and forever has no end.
