friends are the family we never had
They are also the family of choice
Hardly a harsh word between
And never raising our voice
But with friends you must be honest
And sometimes honesty is hard
Someone could get offended
By an offhand remark
So be careful how you treat your friends
Treat them with respect
Then you'll find that also
They'll treat you with respect
~~~~~~~~#########~~~~~~~~
When I think back upon my youth
Times when I didn't know the truth
And how to treat your friends
My relationships came to an abrupt end
When I learnt about love and respect
And I thought about it in every aspect
My relationship started to last
Their failure was a thing of the past
And now my friends are many and broken ones are few
Love and respect both ways always remain true
No more will I burn them out
And when we go out it will always be my shout

Ah my facebook friend
It's always good to see
That you are always there
Spend some time with me
Whether I update my status
Or post it on your wall
So good to be intimate
With my friend 10,000 and all

How long has it been
I don't really know
Since we started this journey
Along life's lonesome road
Friends we have been
And friends 'til the last
It's as friends we'll remain
Until our timehas past
I remember all the times
We have shared together
And despite the time that's passed
As friends we'll remain forever

Friends forever
Present and past
We'll face the future
Our hearts held fast
_________________________________________________________________
Far apart we are
But always on my mind
I can still remember how
You used to be so kind
Always looking out for me
Always showed you cared
More than friends but brothers
A common youth we shared

In troubled times
And in the good
Faitful companion
Like no other could

Friend Poems and Verse
_________________________________________________________________
I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends.
(Walt Whitman 1819-1892)

When you're lonely
I wish you love.
When you're down
I wish you joy
When you're troubled
I wish you peace
When things are complicated
I wish you simple beauty
When things look empty
I wish you hope.

Love is like the wild rose briar
Friendship like the holly tree
The holly is dark when the rose briar blooms
But which will bloom most constantly.

Friendship Poems
Time apart
Seems forever
But time passes
When we're together
A long, long time
We've been friends
But you know
Friendship never ends
_________________________________________________________________
Your friendship is so magical
It has me in its spell
Casting away my loneliness
That once was my death knell
Your friendship is so magical
I'm glad that you're my friend
Reading almost telepathically
Thoughts in my mind I send
Your friendship is so magical
It leaves me full of awe
I know without your friendship
My life would be so poor
_________________________________________________________________
I'm so grateful for your friendship
And this my friend I know
For deep within this heart of mine
Such warm feelings flow
Far exceeding the fleeting love of passion
That burns bright, then quickly fades
But know this love of choice
Lasts forever never jades.

I need to thank you for your friendship
And the kindness you show to me
I've never had a friend like you before
It's opened my eyes to see
I need to thank you for your friendship
And the ways you show you care
Now I finally know at last
That frienship's meant to care
