FRIENDS 35
NEW FRIENDS AND OLD FRIENDS Make new friends, but keep the old; Those are silver, these are gold. New made friendships,like new wine; Age will mellow and refine. Friendships that have stood the test- Time and change- are surly best; Brow may wrinkle, hair go gray; Friendships never knows decay. For 'mid old friends, tried and true, Once more we our youth renew; But old friends alas, may pass away; New friends must their place supply. Cherish friendship in your breast, New is good, but old is best. Make new Friends, but keep the old; Those are silver, These are gold.
HEAVEN ON-LINE There's a land where I go when I need to share that's not on a map, yet exists everywhere A land of names withou t faces, a curious place A modern creation that's called cyberspace. There's all creation o f people with cute little names Like Pookie, and Sandman and Rosebud and Flames. Some are just snobs and some are real fun. And some of them just want to find someone. But both good and bad they all play a role. Still each one unique, but part of the whole. We talk and laugh and wonder why. We flirt and hug and sometimes cry. We can't be heard and can't be seen. Yet, there it is, right on our screen. But all in all the most curious part Is the power it has to open our heart. To share with a stranger those things we've concealed Which to our closest of friends we'd never reveal. Our deepest regrets and most troubling fears The scars in our life which bring us to tears. What gives them the power to reach into me and show me the truths that I never see. How do they manage to open my eyes And make me confess the deceit and the lies. I don't understand this magical spell, But I know that without it my life would be hell. This must have been planned by the Creator up above, Cause there's no place on earth where you'll find as much love. When I need direction I know I can find those angels from heaven just waiting online. Paul pf@mcn.net
Meditation on Friendship Sometimes one meets a kindred soul, Stretching out the hand of friendship To grief, itself a deep dark hole The hand extends a strong firm grip To hold, to climb into the light, Towards the sun, the world and life Away from fear, dismay and night To leave behind the pain, the strife The friendly smile, the listening ear, Consolation in my time of need, Kindness, to wipe away each tear, The hand of friendship, strength indeed Into the depths there came a hand, Helping me through the nightmare time To face the world, to make a stand By friendship's sake, I made that climb Margaret Roos
ON LINE FRIENDS ON LINE SISTERS Meeting my sisters is special to me Each and every one of them that I see. Making new friends As they pass my way I hope they will never go away. Sisters are special And true friends are rare, Knowing they like you Knowing they care. Reach out and hug them Reach out and say "I am here sister" Every single day. Thank you for being A friend to me Being here always For me to see. Time will make changes Months become years Changes come often As smiles replace tears. Remember always my sisters That you are each a friend, And I will be here Until the end. © bgd 12/9/98
Online Friendship... The true friends who we meet online are a very special kind They pierce your shields and see within the corners of your mind They're always there when you're in need with their power to discern They feel your pain...........they offer hope and genuine concern We bare our souls, expose our hearts and show our inner fears and then before you know it the keyboard's stained with tears And if we could see them through that screen then no one could deny that to be a TRUE online friend they too must surely cry. ~Author Unknown~
Dear Friend, You are my friend and I hope you know that's true. No matter what happens I will stand by you. I'll be there for you whenever you need. To lend you a hand to do a good deed. So just call on me, when you need me my friend. I will always be there even to the end. Just as the lighthouse light Guides the ships through the night. ~~Unknown~~
