Friendship

Pony Express Then a postal box
Now email Some think is tops
But I still like The postal card
To write a letter Is it really hard?

We used to be Close to our friends
Back in the day When time we'd spend
Now we sit On a computer
Sharing thoughts Thinking it's much cooler.

Truly I think To spend time in person
Is much more fun Should not be a burden
Whatever happened to a family
Around a table Enjoying company

To family nights of playing games
Life today is not the same
We had more time Before the internet
To share with friends More time was spent

It was all planned Sometimes was not
Those moments shared Could not be bought
So next time you go To write a letter
Take out a pen And make it better

To bring a smile To a loved ones face
When they get to read it Outside of cyberspace.

A little time Is all it takes
In less than an hour A cake will bake
And in less Cookies and more
You do for fun Its not a chore
So why is it when a friend will call
You don't have time You put up a wall
Is it so hard To spend an hour
That you'd easily do With butter and flour

A friendship is like That cookie or cake
In an hours time A smile you make
To give of yourself When a friends in need
May not be as sweet But your soul it feeds
So the next time You bake a cake
Share it with a friend Wont be a mistake
Lend a hand Share a cup of tea
The time you spend and the cost is free.

What a nice evening with family & friends
It is these times in life that should never end
To sit around chatting and laughing a lot
Times like this cannot be bought
No matter where life takes you, near or far
To gather with loved ones wherever you are
Makes life fulfilling, way it should be
There is no greater gift than love of family

Friends add into it the variety, the spice
All this makes up the recipe we call life.
Never pass up the chance to gather around
Be it over dinner, or a night on the town
Seize the moment, tomorrow may be too late
Take time to have fun, make memories great
What a nice evening we had, it was such fun
Moments like this are "second to none".

when it comes to friends
there's no Mason-Dixon line
true friendship is not split
by distance or by time
wider than the ocean
and rivers in between
flowing like a river
friends have come to be
it matters not what flags unfurled
or if the trees be palm
can weather any stormy sea
with friendships healing balm

when your life is tempest tossed
and your patience comes to an end
count yourself as fortunate
if able to call on a friend
memories fade as time goes by
and whence our lives shall end
we leave a life of fullness
for we shared it with a friend.

When you feel lost and alone
And everything seems to be gone
It is only your true friends who will bring you home

When life really gets you down
And you feel no one is around
It is only your true friends who will be found.

Friendship knows no distance
Friendship knows no time
It is a gem in the making
Of the rarest kind...

When you feel your fumbling
And everything around you crumbling
It is only your true friends who will stop your stumbling...

Friendship knows no limits
Friendship doesn't think twice
It is there with a second's notice
And never comes with a price.

Friends turning 50
Friends going home
To a place we think
Is so far away to go
No one truly knows
From one year to next
If we'll get a chance
We don't know what to expect.

Family makes new plans
Family moves away
To a place of dreams
Where they will now stay
No one ever takes
Time for true romance
To visit those you love
thinking there'll be a second chance

Friends turning 50
Friends going home
To a place that leaves
Us lost and all alone
No one ever knows
When that day will be
So thank God for each day
That you live beyond fifty.

A friend is like a flower,
a rose to be exact,
Or maybe 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 didn't have a friend.

A friend is someone we turn to,
when our spirits need a lift.
A friend is someone we treasure,
for our friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone who fills our lives,
with beauty, joy and grace.
And makes the world we live in,
a much nicer and happier place.
