World's Best Friend

Whenever you need me I'll be there.
I want you to know that I truly care.

When life knocks you down on your knees,
I'll be at your side just as fast as you please.

A shoulder to cry on when times are rough,
An encouraging word when you don't feel good enough.

An ear to listen to your hopes and your dreams,
A voice of moderation when you've gone to extremes.

Someone to share the good and the bad,
I will be the worlds best friend you ever had!

True Friends

In a friendship
we're free to expose,
Parts of ourselves
nobody else knows.

The thing that sustains it,
and sets it apart,
Is not something spoken,
'tis 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

To My Best Friend

by Kiah K. Chonko

I was sitting here thinking
of the words I want to say,
but they just wouldn't come out right
so I found a different way

I got a piece of paper
and I wrote this poem for you,
but there's no way to thank you
for everything you do

For always being nice to me
and staying by my side,
for helping fix my problems
and never leaving me behind

For accepting my thoughts and feelings,
though you do not understand,
for never giving up on me
and being my best friend

For making me laugh
and letting me cry
and saying you'd miss me
if I were to die

Everything you mean to me
you could never know
In all the ways you've changed my life
I could never show

The way you take care of me,
you're my shining star
and though it's so incredible
that's just the way you are

Before I get too mushy
it's time for me to go,
but before I leave this ink-filled page
there's one thing you should know

As long as we are living,
no matter when or where,
if you ever need me
just call and I'll be there

I'll climb a thousand mountains
and swim a thousand seas
anything to be there
'cause you've been there for me

Happy Birthday Friend

A brand new day is dawning
And as it gets its start,
I want you know I am thinking
Of you with warmth in my heart.

I hope your birthday is special
No one deserves it more than you!
You are such a kindhearted person,
It shows in everything that you do.

So, have a perfect morning
And an even lovelier day...
May happiness surround you
Always.... not just for today!

The Gift of Knowing You

There are gifts of many treasures
For both the young and old,
From the tiniest little trinkets
To great boxes filled with gold.

But, put them all together
And they could not stand in lieu,
Of the greatest gift of all
The gift of knowing you.

When your times are filled with troubles
Sadness, grief, or even doubt,
When all those things you planned on
Just aren't turning out.

by Dave Stout

Just turn and look behind you
From the place at which you stand,
And look for me through the shadows
And reach out for my hand.

I will lift from you your burden
And cry for you your tears,
Bear the pain of all your sorrows
Though it may be for a thousand years.

For in the end I would be happy
To have helped you start anew,
It's a small price to pay
For the gift of knowing you.

My Friend

You gave me words of kindness
Tied with a ribbon of gold,
Hearing them was important
To heal my heart and soul

Your gift of words made a difference
When I was down and blue,
Questioning why I bother,
Doing what I do.

Life can be a challenge
Sometimes it seems unfair,
But when I was tired and struggling
It helped that you were there.

What can I give you in return
Your friendship is so dear,
Please know if you ever need me
I will always be here.

Kind words and time are needed
By people everywhere,
When wrapped with a smile or a hug
They're a gift that says I care!

Memories of You

by Jonzen Chow

Within my book of memories
are special thoughts of you
and all the evidence of glorious things
which, because of you, came true.

As I turn back the pages of memories
and recall each single thought,
I realize the happiness and pleasure
that knowing you has brought.

There are memories of the times
we’ve shared both bright and gloomy days
there are memories of your kindness
and your friendly, thoughtful ways.

There are memories of your laughter,
your gay and cheery smile
that added a bright note to each of us
and made life more worthwhile.

There are memories of the things
we planned each friendly little chat,
when we would get together
and just talk of this and that.

And when I recall these memories
as I move along life’s way
they grow more precious and blessed
with every passing day.

A friend is like

A friend is like a flower
a rose to be exact

Or may be like a brand new gate
that never comes unlatched

A friend is like an owl
both beautiful and wise

Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost
whose spirit never dies

A friend is like a heart that goes
strong until the end

Where would we be in this world
if we did'nt have a friend.

Wish we could be together

Thinking of you
Makes the miles disappear,
Together we're looking at bright decorations,
Enjoying what we like to do,
Thinking of you makes the miles disappear~
For you're missed very much
All year through…

So just because you're
Far away, don't think
For a moment that you're forgotten.
I'm thinking about you because loving thoughts travel far,
And wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a New Year
Full of wonderful things.
Wish we could be together.

I Will Be Here

I cannot ease your aching heart,
Nor take your pain away;
But let me stay and take your hand
And walk with you today

I'll listen when you need to talk,
I'll wipe away your tears;
I'll share your worries when they come,
I'll help you face your fears

I'm here and I will stand by you,
On each hill you have to climb;
So take my hand, let's face the world
And live just one day at a time

You're not alone, for I'm still here,
I'll go that extra mile;
And when your grief is easier,
I'll help you learn to smile!

Some friends are like a circle

Some friends are like a flower,
and when they finally bloom,
they wilt away in just one day,

Some friends are like a cloudy day,
and when the sun's in sight,
it gets blocked by the grayest cloud
and day turns into night.

Some friends are like a maple tree,
and with the slightest breeze,
the colored leaves, they all come loose
and float away with ease.

Some friends are like a circle,
for they are always true,
I know I have a friend like that
and yes, that friend is you.

My Special Friend

I'll be there for you
Until the very end
Wiping all your tears away
Being your special friend

I'll listen while you talk
I'll encourage you too
I'll smile when you're smiling
And feel all the ache you do

You're my best friend
And I care a lot for you
All the tears you shed
I'll cry the same amount too

-unknown-

My Very Best Friend

I'm not sure when it happened
But I'm very glad it did
You came into my life
When I really needed a friend

The more I get to know you
The more I know myself
And this is why I'm thankful
For you are just yourself

You and I are different
But in many ways the same
Your good ear and tender heart
Will always find you fame

I promise to always be here
Forever and to the end
You are the true definition
of my very best friend!

-unknown-

Until The End

I know your secrets and you know mine
When you need me, I'll help you anytime

To see you hurt, to see you cry,
Makes me weep and want to die

And if you agree to never fight,
It wouldn't matter who's wrong or right

If a broken heart needs a mend,
I'll be right there until the end.

If your cheeks are wet from drops of tears,
don't worry and let go of your fears

Hand in hand love is sent,
We'll be friends until the end

Thank You Friend

by Brandon Chase Sims

Dear friend I can’t explain to you
How much you mean to me
If it weren’t for you I can’t imagine
Where I’d even be

You’ve made me laugh and smile
More than I can bear
You’ve helped me through the hardest times
When I was in despair

You kept me up when I was down
And I was feeling blue
You helped me turn my life around
And become somebody new

Thank you friend for everything
I’m glad you really cared
Thanks for never leaving me
Thank you for being there

My Best Friend

Submitted by Jenna

You've been there for me
through the good times and bad
I know I can count on you
to be there when I'm sad

Life without you
just wouldn't be right
I wouldn't be able to get through
each day and night

When I've had a bad day
I know that you're only a call away
When life takes that crazy turn
You are always there to help me learn

We've had so many good times together
I know we'll be best friends forever
No matter where we are
I know we'll never be too far

You're my idol, my sister, my friend
We'll be together till the end
Even when we're old and gray
You'll be here still,
to help me get on my way

Precious Friend

We all need someone
To talk to in our life,
A friend to whom we run
In times of stress or strife

A friend who's always there
Throughout the years,
A friend we know will care
And take away our fears.

A friend who's always near,
Waiting for our call,
To wipe away our tears,
And lift us when we fall.

A loving friend indeed,
On whom we can depend
To fulfill our every need -
Thank you, precious friend

Friends Forever

Friends we are,
forever friends we'll be,
Wherever we are,
you're right beside me.

I hope we stay friends
'til the end of time,
And whenever that is,
our friendship will still shine.

You mean the world to me,
I hope the same with you,
You're always helping me,
whatever it takes you'll do.

Now that we're growing older,
changing our ways,
I know we won't lose our friendship-
I hope I never see that day.

So to every one of my friends,
you mean the world to me,
Friends we are,
forever friends we'll be

By Your Side

No matter where we go
or the distance in between
I’ll always be here for you
I hope you can be there for me

Everything we’ve had to go through
and everything still to come
I hope we can still stay friends
and help keep each other strong

You know I’ll always be by your side
if you need a helping hand
don’t be afraid to ask
you know you always can.

Always There

by : Erik Gault

If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you.
And share with you it's beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.

If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own.
A place to find serenity
A place to be alone.

If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea.
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me

I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair
But let me be...what I know best,
a friend that's always there.

You're Never Alone

by : KC

You're never alone, I'm always near,
When you're troubled, down or blue.
All you have to do is call me,
I'm always here for you.

It doesn't matter where I'm at,
It doesn't matter when.
When you need someone to talk to,
I'm here to be your friend.

If you need someone to hold your hand,
or a hug to say I care.
If you need a shoulder to cry on,
for you I will be there.

So never think you are a burden,
when the weight gets to be to much.
You might find if look hard enough,
a good friend could be the right touch.

You're never alone, I'm always here,
through the good times and the bad.
I'm always here to be your friend,
I don't like to see you sad.
