MORE THAN A FRIEND... If there is one ingredient which adds warmth and love to our lives... it is Friendship. If there is one relationship to help us through all the others... it is Friendship. Friends surround us with the beauty of their caring. With friends we can share what we see, what we feel and what we love. Friends help us with our problems because they listen. And as they listen we begin to hear the language of our own hearts. With friends we can walk along the remembered paths of our lives and completely share our experiences. With friends we can work the soil of forgotten dreams that needed to be tended and nurtured once again. With friends we can plant the seed of our hearts new dreams. We can always return to a friend like going back to a special place... and find the same warm feeling unchanged by time or distance. Life gives us friends so we can share the precious times and memorable moments of being children, and teenagers, and adults, and parents, and grandparents. Life gives us friends so we can share the growing up... and growing down and old. With friends we have a place to go to be accepted and understood. Together we can laugh. Together we can cry. Our thoughts are heard, our feelings are held in the heart of a friend. With friends our lives are made more full, more rich, more open, beautiful and blessed !
Why God Made Friends
God made the world with a heartful of love, Then He looked down from Heaven above, And saw that we all need a helping hand, Someone to share with, who'll understand. He made special people to see us through The glad times and the sad times, too; A person on whom we can always depend, Someone we can call a friend. God made friends so we'll carry a part Of His perfect love in all our hearts.
<~PRICELESS THINGS~ Life holds so many priceless things The falling rain--the wind that sings Each star on a high--a big full moon And sunbeams dancing in your room The river as it rushes on A sunset when day is gone No wealth can buy a mountain tall These priceless things belong to all An autumn tree lends beauty rare With leaves piled deep most everywhere As nature wears a glowing smile to make each day a day worthwhile Could anything be quite as dear As laughing children that we hear The gift of friendship that is ours The miracle of growing flowers Each magic moment--treasured time These priceless gifts are yours and mine...

WHEN YOU ARE... When you are sad, I will dry your tears. When you are scared, I will comfort your fears. When you are worried, I will give you hope. When you are confused, I will help you cope. And when you are lost, And can't see the light. I shall be your beacon Shining ever so bright This is my oath. I pledge till the end. Why you may ask? Because you're my friend. When you are lonely, And you need someone to talk to. Remember that... I'm always here for you. I will hug you when you say. I will be with you when you pray. I will laugh with you when you are happy. I will cry with you when you are unhappy. I will move the mountains so you can walk. I will shut everyone up so you can talk. I will swim the longest ocean. I will jump to the sky. I'd do anything and everything for you. 'Cause you're my friend.
When Life Gets So Hard I wanted to find some words That would help to get thru it when life gets so hard It seems you can't bear it - perhaps can't go on - When deep in the heart there's no trace of a song. Some words that would comfort - when late in the night the trials return and - you're too tired to fight. Or the tears flow so often it seems you'll run dry. And life gets so tough that you just want to die - Or at least go and hide - where you're safe from all pain. Someplace you can rest 'til you find joy again. What are the words you so need to hear - That will help and will heal and remove all the fear - That builds up inside 'til you think you'll explode - What are the words that will lighten the load? If only I knew the right words to say To encourage you or comfort some way. I know not the words but this I can do. If you need someone to talk too.. IŽll be there for you
MORE THAN A FRIEND I have a special feeling That I scarcely comprehend. In my deepest thoughts I sense You're more than just a friend. I wouldn't want to rush us now As friendship we explore; But there's a growing warmth inside me That I just can't ignore. I enjoy our times together We're so comfortable and free. I think of you when I'm alone I think of you and me. I feel that we have much to share. Warm secrets to uncover. There is a whole lot more to life That we both can discover. I don't know where we're heading Or just where this road will end. But you're truly someone special Who is more than just a friend.
