About friendship

[sherlyk]

”The true friend is the one who’s coming
in the door while everyone else is going
out. Friends are the ones who love you
when you’re hard to love, stand by you
when it’s not the popular thing to do and
are there for you when you need it, even
if it means they don’t get anything back.”

Friendship is the turquoise stone tucked away in the pocket or enveloped under the pillow.
Friendship is a frog sitting beside a bold bright yellow rose on a Sunday morning in August.
Friendship extends its magical arms for it is not the receiving but the giving.
Friendship is creating a mood positive and light.
Our friendship is the air, fire, earth, and water of the universe!

When to the session of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:
Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,
For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,
And weep afresh love's long since cancelled woe,
And moan the expense of many a vanish¹d sight:
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er
The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restored and sorrows end.

I will pray for you, my friend.
I will name you in my heart before God and ask all His blessing be upon you.
I will be concerned for your rising and your daily mood.
I will be sympathetic to your personal needs and desires in each day of your
life.
I will wish you well in your learning, or your work, in your domestic round and
your leisure.
I will think of you at the close of each day and pray that God’s peace be with
you.
If you have been especially kind or helpful to me then I will make my gratitude
known to you.
If you are in trouble or difficulty of any kind, or simply tired and worn down, I
will do all and anything I can to lift your spirits.
I will ache for you in your sorrows and disasters and rejoice with you in your
joys and triumphs.
I will love and care for you as I love and care for myself.

It's been an honor to be your friend
and I promise you, we're friends till the end.
I'll stand beside you, weak or strong
I will defend you, all life long.
I'll always protect you, until the end.
For you, above all, are my very best friend.
You're the star in the sky that always shines bright.
You're the brightest of all in the gloom of the night.
God must have known that we would need friends,
so he gave me you, my friend till the end.
He gave me a friend, with a heart so true.
He gave me the perfect friend:the friend that is you.

The distance between you and I
Is only a heartbeat away,
For you and I dwell in each other's heart -
There forever we will stay.

You know all my emotions,
Many they may be.
You know when to be gentle,
And when to chastise me.

Two gentle souls deeply connected,
Thoughts not spoken,
There is no need -
For the other knows what one is thinking
Even before they speak.

So with all the love I have
In my heart today,
I want to express to you
These feelings I want to stay.

Bad friends are like the waves in the sea,
They keep hitting us all the time with glee,
But good friends are like the stars in the sky,
The stay with us forever and teach us how to fly.
I'm glad that I have found such a lovely friend in you,
When you are around, I never find myself sad or blue.
