Friends Like You
By Catherine Pulsifer, © 2008
Friends like you
Keep me from feeling blue
You accept me
And always let me be
I can count on you always
Doesn’t matter the day
Our friendship has stood the test
It is sometimes hard to believe we are still the best
Our friendship once like new wine
But now with years gone by it has stood the test of time
I count my blessings everyday
You are the best I often say
You always care
You never dare
A friend indeed
You fill a need
Together we grow old
Our friendship is like gold
The years go by
But I will not sigh.
Thank you my friend so dear
For always being clear
Because friends like you
Are of so special too!

If when climbing up life's ladder
You can reach a hand below,
Just to help the other fellow,
Up another rung, or so
It will be that in the future,
When you're growing weary, too,
You'll be glad to find there's someone
Who will lend a hand to you
A very famous friendship poem written by Edgar A. Guest many years ago. The poetry has wisdom in its words about what it takes to be a friend. We hope you enjoy the poetry of Mr. Guest.
Be A Friend
By Edgar A Guest
Be a friend. You don't need money:
Just a disposition sunny;
Just the wish to help another
Get along some way or other;
Just a kindly hand extended
Out to one who's unbefriended;
Just the will to give or lend,
This will make you someone's friend.
Be a friend. You don't need glory.
Friendship is a simple story.
Pass by trifling errors blindly,
Gaze on honest effort kindly,
Cheer the youth who's bravely trying,
Pity him who's sadly sighing;
Just a little labor spend
On the duties of a friend.
Be a friend. The pay is bigger
(Though not written by a figure)
Than is earned by people clever
In what's merely self-endeavor.
You'll have friends instead of neighbors
For the profits of your labors;
You'll be richer in the end
Than a prince, if you're a friend
The Miracle of Friendship
by Author Unknown
There is a
Miracle called
Friendship
that dwells within
the heart and you don't
know how it happens
or when it even starts.
But the happiness
it brings you always
gives a special lift
and you realize that
Friendship
is God's most precious gift.
Old Friends
By William Butler Yeats
Though you are in your shining days,
Voices among the crowd
And new friends busy with your praise,
Be not unkind or proud,
But think about old friends the most:
Time's bitter flood will rise,
Your beauty perish and be lost
For all eyes but these eyes.
Submitted by John
Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.
Don't be afraid to express yourself.
Reach out and tell someone
what they mean to you.
Because when you decide that it is
the right time it might be too late.
Seize the day. Never have regrets.
And most importantly,
stay close to your friends and family,
for they have helped make you
the person that you are today.
ties the heart of all the world."
John Evelyn
"One faithful friend is enough for a man's self,
'tis much to meet with such a one,
yet we can't have too many for the sake of others."
Jean de La Bruyere
"Friends create the world anew each day.
Without their loving care, courage would not
suffice to keep hearts strong for life."
Helen Keller
"Do not protect yourself by a fence,
but rather by your friends."
Czech Proverb
"Did I choose you? Did you choose me?
And what difference does it make?
All that really matters, friend, is that we choose together."
Lois Wyse
"Perhaps the most delightful friendships
are those in which there is
much agreement, much disputation,
and yet more personal liking."
George Eliot
