Friendship Quotes – Poems
Friends are there when you’re alone, in your heart and in your home
they have a shoulder when you need to cry, and there’s always a hug when you stop by.
A friend is the pillow to rest a weary soul, and their arms are the comforter you lie beneath when cold.
So keep your friends beside you and be there in their need, because friendships are like flowers that need nurturing from seed,
and when you put your hand out to reach for your best friend, they’ll be right there beside you because on friends you can depend.
~Author~Christine Mitchell.
***
When we ask ourselves who in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who instead of giving advice,solutions or cures,have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion,who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement,who can tolerate not knowing, not curing,not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness,that is a friend who cares.~Henry Norman~
***
Forget the times that he walked by.Forget the times he made you cry.Forget the times he spoke your name.Remember-now, you’re not the same.Forget the time he held your hand.Forget the sweet things if you can.Forget the times, and don’t pretend.Remember-now, he’s just your friend.***Becoming friends we notice how precious friendship is, and how little time there really is to enjoy this new found wealth.So make the most of the friendship times and be there when you can,and through all good times and the bad it will bebest friend till the end.***Treasured FriendsFriends are treasures we find on lifes way,they’re people we turn to,when life goes astray.when spirits need lifting and good times are fewa friend will bring comfort and give strength to you,because someone who fills life,with beauty, joy and grace.will make the world we live in,a better and happier place.
***Friendship is something that grows through the yearsWithstanding feelings of anger, joy and tearsIt is something you cannot live withoutA friend you can turn to when in doubtThey should listen carefully and not speak a wordFor you would do the same when they want to be heardA person you can confide in, learn from and trustThis is a friend and everyone mustBe able to have someone just like thisNot a boyfriend to hug, cuddle and kissBut a person so special, faithful and trueThe only one I can think of is a person like you
Our friendship is strong, healthy and greatThrough the years I see its wonderful fateA fate of laughs, greatness and funWe have only one life to live and this is the oneThe past- full of memories that runs through my headThe bad ones never talked about or saidEvery moment of life should glisten with fresh morning dewThis reminds me of the greatest friendship one ever knew.
***
I met you when I started schoolwe walked together we broke some ruleswe shared our secrets we shared our lunchwe didn’t worry about being part of the bunchas time went on and we went our own waysI always remembered those special school daysalthough I thought of you often and meant to keep in touch sometimes we get busy with careers and stuffso when finally one day I felt it was timethe angels had beat me and taken you home.So if you have someone thats close to your heartcall your friend,make an effort you just need to start.~Author~ Christine Mitchell.***Distant Stength.I’m sorry I can’t be with you todaybut I feel your pain from far away.I want to be with you and you’ll know thats truebut my arms are around you and my strength is there too.Look to the future put your fears asideremember I love you and let that be your guide.***Old friends share a special bondthey share years of memories now in a golden pond.They have lived through the good times and lived through the badThey have laughed till they criedand have wept through the sad.Whenever youv’e needed them they’ve always been therethey’re what frienships about ,to the end they will care.So treasure the people you call friends in your lifelook after them properly and help them in strife,remember that these are the rocks and the lightwho will stay with you alwaysthrough daytime and night.***Our friendship had a coloured outsettwo more different people you’d find hard to getbut sometimes the outsidedoes not show the corewhen the heart knows whats best it ignores all the flawsSo our friendship blossomed and you’ve always been there
because without you beside me life would have been bare.***Friendship is a beautiful thingIt makes you laughIt makes you singIt makes you happyIt makes you sadIt makes you goodand it makes you bad.But the most wonderful thingwhen you have a friendis theres someone there when you need a hand.There’s never a question or even a doubtbeing a friend means you won’t go without.
