"MAKE NEW FRIENDS, BUT KEEP THE OLD"
Friends don't have to be exactly the same. Friends have similarities but they also have their differences. They key to opening up the world of friendship is not only to expand on similarities but to accept each other's faults. Because you can't ever judge your friend.
"The best mirror is an old friend."
"The only way to have a friend is to be one."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Friendship is always a sweet responsibility;
never an opportunity."
  -- Kahlil Gibran
"No man is useless while he has a friend."
-- Robert Louis Stevenson
"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words."
Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.
-G. Randolf
A friend is someone who can see the truth and the pain in you, even when you are fooling everyone else.
The most beautiful discovery that true friends can make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.

There are some friends you know you will have for the rest of your life. You're welded together by love, trust, respect or loss or...simple embarrassment.
A friend can tell you things you don't want to tell yourself.
-Frances Ward Weller
A faithful friend is a strong protection; A man who has found one has found a treasure. A faithful friend is beyond price, and his value cannot be weighed.
-Ben Sira

If ever you need to talk,
if ever you need some cheer,
remember you have a friend--
who always will be here...
She doesn't want a lot,
only to see you smile;
and just to see you happy,
she'll walk that proverbial mile.
Always know she cares,
no matter what you do.
You'll always find her there
to give you hugs when you are blue.
There is a saying that goes:
"You don't have to love in words,
because even through the silences,
love is always heard."

What Is A Friend?

A chair when i'm weary
a smile when i'm sad
a drink when i'm thirsty
a switch when i'm bad
a safe for my treasures
a map on the road
a shoulder to carry
the half of my load.

a lamp in my darkness
a lock on my door
a rose in my thornbush
a rug on my floor
a hug when i'm hurting
a fire in the cold
a jewel more precious
than diamonds and gold.

a shade in the noontime
a gate in the wall
a song in the evening
a ride to the ball
a chair when i'm lonely
a cheer when i win
a home that is waiting
to welcome me in

a picture that somehow
resembles your face
a manner that makes me
remember your ways
a touch, that compared with
your touch, feels the same
a voice that responds
to the sound of your name.
The difficulty is not to die for a friend, but finding a friend worth dying for.
"Friends are angels who lift us up to our feet, when our own wings have trouble remembering how to fly"..
"A friend is one who walks in when others walk out"
-Walter Winchell
"Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
the kisses of an enemy may be profuse, but faithful are the wounds of a friend."

The old man turned to me and asked
"How many friends have you?"
Why 10 or 20 friends have I,
And named off just a few...

He rose quite slow with effort
And sadly shook his head
"A lucky child you are
To have so many friends," he said

"But think of what you're saying
There is so much you do not know
A friend is just not someone
To whom you say "Hello"

A friend's a tender shoulder
On which to softly cry
A well to pour your troubles down
And raise your spirits high

A friend is a hand to pull you up
From darkness and despair...
When all your other "so called" friends
Have helped to put you there

A true friend is an ally
Who can't be moved or bought
A voice to keep your name alive
When others have forgot

But most of all a friend is a heart
A strong and sturdy wall
For from the hearts of friends
There comes the greatest love of all!!!

So think of what I've spoken
For every word is true
And answer once again my child
How many friends have you???"

And then he stood and faced me
Awaiting my reply
Softly I answered
"If lucky...... one have "I"

"You!!!!"
"Lean on me, when you're not strong,
and I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on,
for it won't be long,
'til I'm going to need somebody to lean on."
- "Lean On Me"

a friend is like a shade tree
beside a summer way
a friend is like the sunshine
that makes a perfect day
a friend is like a flower
that's worn close to the heart
a friend is like a treasure
with which one will not part
"A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like
is shown by the kind of friends he chooses."
- Proverbs 27:19
"He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare,
And he who has one enemy will meet him everywhere."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Like wave upon the sand
Like day and night
Like birds in flight
Like snowflakes when they land
But you and I are something else
Our friendship's here to stay
Like weeds and rocks and dirty socks
It never goes away........

"The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend."
-- Henry David Thoreau
Only When...
© Shariz

Friendship is a rare jewel that shines,
Only when you give it a sunny smile
Friendship is a lock that opens,
Only when you unlock your true self to it
Friendship is a song, which is sung,
Only when you know its rhythm
Friendship is a dream, which comes true,
Only when you believe in it
Friendship is a sun, which rises,
Only when your heart has set on it
Friendship is a throne, on which you can sit,
Only when you share your kingdom with it
Friendship is a path, which you will find,
Only when you know you are lost
Friendship is a hand that holds yours,
Only when you extend yours
Friendship is an album of reminiscences, which you can leaf through,
Only when you cherish it
Friendship is a lamp, which lights,
Only when you know it will assuage your heart
Friendship is a lantern, which glows,
Only when you need the warmth of it
Friendship is a language, which you speak,
Only when you know the meaning of it
Friendship is a potpourri of feelings, which you can smell,
Only when you have a true friend…
"Friendship that flows from the heart cannot be frozen by adversity, as the water that flows from the spring cannogt congeal in winter."
- James Fenimore Cooper
Do not save your loving speeches
For your friends till they are dead;
Do not write them on their tombstones,
Speak them rather now instead.
- Anna Cummins
"A part of you has grown in me, and so you see, it's you and me together forever. Never apart, maybe in distance, but never in heart."
"Friendship improves happiness, and abates misery, by doubling our joy, and dividing our grief."
-Joseph Addison
