About friendship

[sherlyk]

I ran my life in search of worldly things;
My time and will were firmly in control.
I thought I had no need for what God brings;
I gave no heed to murmurs from my soul.“You’re planning, doing all the time,” it said,
“But something else is missing deep inside.
Your mind is whirling, but your heart is dead,
So turn to God and let go of your pride.”I did, and God said, “Here’s My plan for you:
Give your life to Me, and just let go.
Have faith and pray, and read the Bible through,
And you’ll have blessings more than you can know.”So simple, yet it brings me perfect peace,
Living life for God the way I should.
Direction, purpose, fullness and release—
Life with God is very, very good.

Every thing's gone wrong today
No one reacts to anything you say
No matter how much you scream and cry,
the world seems to be passing you by.
No one seems to notice or care,
that you are trying to be heard over your despair.
But on one face a smile shines through,
a smile that knows and cares about you.
A smile with love to lend,
on a face you recognize as a friend.

Accepts you as you are
Believes in "you"
Calls you just to say, "HI"
Doesn't give up on you
Envisions the whole you
Forgives your mistakes
Gives unconditionally
Helps you
Invites you over
Just "be" with you
Keeps you close to heart
Loves you for who you are
Makes a difference in your life
Never judges
Offers support
Picks you up
Raises your spirits
Says nice thing about you
Tells you the truth when you need to hear it
Understands you
Values you
Walks beside you
X-plain things you don't understand
Yells when you don't listen
Zaps you back to reality

You are my friend,
trusted and true;
And this is for everything
and all that you do.

When the light seems so far
and times are so low,
You reach out your hand
to give me a place to go.

When I find I can't make it
and the mountain's too high,
You give me your wisdom
and help me to try.

You've given me hope
in times of despair.
You do this for me,
because I know you care.

You make me laugh
when there are no smiles,
Even though we're separated
by the miles.

So let me tell you this,
My Friend,
If you ever need me,
I'm here 'til the end.

I give you my love
my hand and my heart,
And from your friendship
I'll never part.

For everything
and all that you do,
I want you to know
I'll do the same for you.

So, when your days are black
and your nights are long,
And it seems like
everything will go wrong -

I'm there by your side
you're never alone.
I'll be there for you
to help lead you home.

So, My Friend,
as you can see;
You're very special,
especially to ME! ! !

Some people think,
Friendship is like dust,
Something you can just blow away.

Some people think,
Friendship is like a rose.
It starts out a small bud,
Overtime it blooms into a beautiful flower,
But eventually dies.

But I think friendship...
is like a star in the sky,
It looks bright sometimes,
Other times it looks dull,
But it is always there.

When the world seems cold
And I feel sad and blue
When I need a friend who understands
That's when I think of you

You know just how to soothe my soul
And your love comes shinning through
Everyone in life should have
A special friend like you

[sherlyk]

A friend is a treasure that everyone has

Sometimes they come, sometimes they pass
Your friends will stay if you don't betray or lie

Or leave them behind
Just put this on your mind

A friend is what you need
To succeed in this life

In this world were you can't live you can't breath
Life will be unfair but your friend will be there

To give you hope, and faith
And a path that is right to take

This will lead you to your dreams
That you never thought would come true

That is being friends forever with you.
Sometimes you forget

What your friend has done
You just stab them in the back

And leave them behind
But when it comes to them

And they don't do the same
You just turn your back

And do it again
But one sunny day

You will be alone
Then you will realize

that all you once had is gone.

[sherlyk]

I'll be there for you
Until the very end
Wiping all your tears away
Being your special friend

I'll listen while you talk
I'll encourage you too
I'll smile when you're smiling
And feel all the ache you do

You're my best friend
And I care a lot for you
All the tears you shed
I'll cry the same amount too

[sherlyk]

I'm not sure when it happened
But I'm very glad it did
You came into my life when
I really needed a friend

The more I get to know you
The more I know myself
And this is why I'm thankful
For you are just yourself

You and I are different
And in many ways the same
Your good ear, compassionate heart
Will always find you fame

I promise to always be here
Forever and to the end
You are the true definition of
My Very Best Friend!
