Oh the comfort,the inexpressible
Comfort of feeling safe with friends
Having neither to weigh
Thoughts, nor measured words,
But to pour them all out

Just as they are
Chaff and grain together
Knowing that a faithful hand
Will take and sift them,
Keeping what is worth keeping
and then with a breath of kindness
Blow the rest away

Submitted by Jane

__________

What a lovely thing it is
To have a loyal friend
Someone who understands us
On whom we can depend
A friend who sees and knows
Our faults
And likes us anyway
And never seems to take offence
At anything we say
Who helps us through our troubles
Stands by us in our needs
Such friendship transcends
Barriers of colour race and creed
For friendship is a precious gift
And we should always treasure
The ones who share our grief
Our joy
Our heartache and our pleasure

Submitted by Jane

__________

Your birthday is a perfect time
To stop and reminisce
About the many hours we've spent
Discussing that and this-
The laughs, the smiles
That we have known
The wonderful things we've done
That make the friendship that we share
A very special one!

_______________


You are my friend of friends, my
confident, my closest companion.
You are the one I turn to for comfort
when my heart is heavy and the
first one I run to when I have good
news to share. Through seasons
and years, you've grown nearer to
my heart, and I want you always
to know, my friend, how much
I love you.

Happy Birthday


_______________________


We're not really sisters
But we/re sisters of the heart
And nothing shall ever tear our friendship apart
They say that gems are priceless
And i guess that is true
But our friendship is PRICELESS
I can't imagine life without you.

_______________________


It's good to have friends
Friends who care,
Friends who you know
Will always be there
When you need them,
And never complain,
When you tell the same story
Again and again.

________________________

Friends you/we have known
Since you/we were quite small
Friends who still like you/us
Warts-an- all !
The memories you/we share
Of times that are past
Means friendship between
You/us will always last.

_______________________________

Some of the happiest times of my life
Are times you and I spend together.
For deep in my heart I've considered you special-
One of my dearest friends ever...

Time after time I've enjoyed your nice company,
Warmed by your closeness we share,
And when there were days
That I needed encouragement,
I knew you'd always be there?

Time and again I've been ever so grateful
For having a good friend like you-
A friend for all times,
To confide in, to count on, and treasure
A whole lifetime through.

You're a friend
For all times

___________________________

If you planted hope today
In any hopeless heart
If someone's burden was lighter
Because you did your part
If you made someone laugh out loud
And kept their tears at bay
Then today has been
For you my friend
A very special day

I'm really glad I've got friends
To guide and light the way
With ups and downs thank God I've found
Your friendship true each day

The gift you gave to me
I never dreamed I'd have a friend
Like you have come to be

You'll always be my friend

This birthday card is sent today
And I hope it's plain to see
You're a very special person
Who means so much to me

Just what friends we'd be

But it happened and I'm grateful

To me you're very special
So enjoy your special day

Friendship is for young and old
Precious like a pot of gold;
Friendship is a sunny day,
As fresh and sweet as new mown hay;
Friendship comforts in the night
Like a star that's shining bright;
Friendship is a gently thing,
Soft as a dove that's on the wing;
Friendship is a joy to see
And is the bond twix you and me;
Friendship is there for all to find,
The secret saviour of mankind

(Brian Hope Gent)

May there always be work for your hands to do
May your purse always hold a coin or two;
May the sun always shine on your window pane
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;
May the hand of a friend always be near you
Their hearts full of warmth and gladness to cheer you

(Irish Toast)

I?thank you God sincerely for the friends I have today
And all that they have done for me to help me on the way
I thank you that I met them in fellowship and cheer
And that in?time of need and stress they always have been near
I thank you for my faithfull friends in places near and far
Whose kindly deeds have made my days as
fruitful as they are
Whose happy songs have done so much to make my dreams come true
And who, by their example, Lord, have drawn me close to you.

(Anon.)

__________

Take a cup of patience
And a big heartful of love
Add a bowl of generosity
To blend ?with the above;
Put in a dash of laughter
And some understanding too
Sprinkle it with kindness
And memories old and new.
Add some faith before you mix it
Till the dish is rich and sweet
Then enjoy a heaped up portion
With everyone you meet!

(Found in an old cookery book)

But as you well know, friend
I'm no quitter!

I want to be happy?
But I can't be happy
Till I make you happy too

(popular song)

__________

Friendship is a ship big enough to carry?2 in fair weather, but only?1 in foul
In some cases that's true
Ambrose Bierce who wrote that
Can't have had a friend like you

__________

A friend should be radical
He should love you when you're unlovable
Hug you when you're unhuggable
And bear you when you're unbearable.

A friend should be fanatical
He should cheer when the whole world boos
Dance when you get good news
And cry when you cry too.

But most of all, a friend should be mathematical
He should multiply the joy, divide the sorrow
Subtract the past and add to tomorrow
Calculate the need deep in your heart
And always be bigger than the sum of all their parts.

(Anon)

__________

Faithful friends sustain us
When life's dark shadows fall
Their words of hope encourage
Make us feel ten feet tall.

Faithful friends are near us
When life is full of woe
It's then they take us by the hand
To paths that we should go.

Faithful friends are with us
No matter where we roam
They come with the good Lord's blessing
And lead us safely home.

(Jenny Chaplin)

__________

A friend is someone who is there no matter what
Someone who gives advice, NOT tells you what to do
A friend is a shoulder to lean on, a hand to hold
A friend doesn't have to look or act or dress a certain way
The only thing that matters is what's on the inside.

(Sarah Hinton)

The S.S. Friendship sails the sea
Of ?life and hopes to steer
A steady course, where there may be
Horizons bright and clear.

A willing entourage
Aware of storms, but can afford
To shout, "Bon Voyage"

I have a list of folk I know all written in a book
And every year at Christmas time I go and take a look
And that is when I realise that these names are a part
Not of the book they're written in, but of my very heart.

Every year when Christmas comes I realise anew
The biggest gift life can give is knowing folk like you
May the Spirit of Christmas that forever endures
Leave its rich blessings in the hearts of you and yours.
