FRIENDS 10



One of life's greatest treasures is the love that binds hearts together in friendship. "A friend is someone who walks in when the rest of the world walks out." "True friends are like diamonds, precious but rare." "Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend."




FRIENDS



Years go by without a sound
Sometimes decades without word
Deep in the trunks of our minds
Rests the memories of our friendship


Never "I used to have a friend,"
Always "I have a friend..."
Some friends are daily doses
Some are for lifetimes


Friends do not destroy one's life
They help to build and rebuild
They revel in one's triumphs
They are saddened by one's trials


Friends true remember decades of life
Always begin with "I've missed you..."
Friends give lives for friends
Friends give of themselves for friends


Friends are whom we share our lives with
Friends are whom we celebrate our "my's" with
Friends are whom we share our grief with
Friends are whom we share our needs with


Friends come in all colors and hues
Friends come in all sizes and shapes
Friends come in both genders
Friends come in when others fear to tread


Although we pass the years away
Not in close proximity
The decades of our friendship true
Rests peacefully in me and you

THE KEEPER OF FRIENDSHIP In a friendship We're free to expose, Parts of ourselves Nobody else knows. But the thing that sustains it And sets it apart, Is not something spoken It's a bond of the heart. True friends are rare In a lifetime two or three, I'm so glad it happened Between you and me!

DEAR FRIEND Because you are my friend, I see Life in a different way, And joy I had not hoped to know, Adds sparkle to each day. A long forgotten memory Arises from the past, Of all we are allowed to keep And things that never last. But seasons come and seasons go, And we remain a part Of all the true nobility We carry in our heart. A friend to understand and care, That's how it ought to be And so I pray the road you walk ...Is wide enough for me. Grace E. Easley©



MY FRIEND

You're important to me. Life is very short, 
and we are fragile creatures. 
Our hearts were meant to be filled with love, 
not hate; joy and not sorrow.
So please, stop today and take the time 
to tell just one person that your life is better 
because they are a friend!

THE GIFT OF FRIENDSHIP

~Once the package of friendship
 has been opened,
it can never be closed.
It is a constant book always written...
waiting to be read...and enjoyed.
We may have our disagreements...
we may argue...we may concern
 one another...
friendship is a unique bond that lasts
 through it all....
A part of me is put into my friends...
some it is my humor...
some it is my listening ear...
some it is real life experiences...
some it is my romanticism...
but with all, it is friendship.
Friendships forged are a construct 
stronger than steel built as a
foundation....
necessary for life...
and necessary for love.
Friends, you and me.... 
you brought another friend...
and then there were 3... 
we started our group...
Our circle of friends... 
and like that circle...
there is no beginning or end...~
