Best Friend In Need Is A Friend Indeed Poems
It is a common belief
That man being a social animal
Life must be spent in company of others
Only few of us like solitude
Because socialization is inborn.
Hence the role of friendship
A friend is not only supportive
But the very basis of life
Inculcating the sentiment of proximity
Friendship prevents from being egocentric
Be it good or bad times
A true friend is always present
A friend in need is a friend indeed
Beyond all circumstances
Ever ready to offer a helping hand
Friendship is not merely for benefits
Be also prepared to assist in difficult times
Be slow in choosing a friend
And slower in changing one
Friendship is a way of life
Revolving throughout our existence
Be a sincere friend for a better life
If you want a friend
Be a friend.
True Friends
Strong current always flowed on that stream.
A tall tree stood steady just on its brim.
A dove used to take rest on nest on top of tree.
An ant stayed in hole on ground moving free.
Both were good friends caring for each other.
Ant below and dove above loved each other.
Once, losing grip the ant slipped on water.
It tended to sink on rushing flow of river.
Dove dropped a leaf in front of sinking ant.
The ant managed to sit on leaf at that instant/
Leaf-boat reached the ant to the bank.
Ant waved its antenna to say ‘Thanks’.
Shortly came n hunter aiming at the dove.
This time the ant was prompt to observe.
It bit a strong sting on the hunter’s toe.
Hunter had to leave his bow and arrow.
Dove became alert and flew away.
Ant moved happily on its way.
“A friend in need is a friend indeed.
Grow Great. Be Grateful. Do Good Deed.”

A friend in a pinch is seldom a cinch
to be found in a world uncaring.
Some might offer aid, then want to be paid,
with an attitude overbearing.
Friends made from the heart will never depart
though the way may be rough and tumble.
They stay at your side through a rocky ride
to help you go on if you stumble.
When myriad woes attack you like foes
or obstacles rise up in doubles,
those loyal appear to assuage your fear
and bolster your spirits in troubles.
Once it’s clear to you that a friend is true,
you possess a most precious treasure,
with rewards that grow far more than you know
or a jeweler’s loupe could measure.
If you’re tempest-tossed and find yourself lost,
shy of courage to make you bolder,
or your cherished hopes fly out of your scopes,
you can lean awhile on their shoulder.
Whatever the rhyme or reason or time,
by silent accord in friendship’s creed,
true friends will be there, your fortunes to share.
A friend in need is a friend in deed.
Aye, friends of this sort are a special breed.
A friend in need is a friend indeed!
~ Harley White
"Just keep doing what you’re doing, and you’ll be fine."
There is no luck in waiting, not until your stars align.
The world’s egotism will be your strong nemesis.
So stay strong and motivated amidst all these crises.
You’ll be searching for happiness in the corners of the room.
Yet, life will be much more complex—and mostly doomed.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
But real friends don’t discard efforts, so take heed!
Your shoes will wander around to beautiful places.
Falling in love with the wrong people will happen for ages.
Heartbreaks will be part of your journey; brace yourself!
But the only person standing in your way is yourself.
You’ll yearn countless times in the middle of the night.
Success will be obscure for a sophisticated man to write.
Society will disdain your credibility as a person.
But it will all happen for one particular reason.
So stay strong and motivated amidst all these crises.
The world’s egotism will be your strong nemesis.
There is no luck in waiting, not until your stars align.
"Just keep doing what you are doing, and you will be fine."
Lei Strauss, 2023
My Friend
Sweeter than honey, precious than gold is how you are,
Your availability in times of need scares me,
Your commitment and sacrifice towards me is amazing,
Not only in times of need do you avail yourself,
But at all times you stand by my side,
But, my friend, your friendship is beyond measure.
By the amazing magnitude of your friendship,
You leave me humbled and feeling appreciated,
Your existence not only makes my life good,
But also fulfilled, wonderful and enjoyable,
You may not know, hear, see or smell,
But, my friend your friendship is beyond measure.
They say a friend in need is a friend indeed,
But I say I know you as a friend indeed,
You make me see life in a different angle,
By keeping me in a different position,
I won’t be able to pay you back for sure
But, my friend your friendship is beyond measure
(by Waweru Ngugi)
he drove full thirty miles to visit me,
to wish me on my fiftieth birthday,
to hug me once and share a pot of tea,
before he drove himself home all the way!
no wealth there is in this world you may say,
that can help you in your life to succeed,
like a true pal by your side who will stay,
for “a friend in need is a friend indeed!”

"A friend in need is a friend indeed"
"friends are the gifts presented by god"
there are many quotes like these,
everyone of us define their friends and friendship in their own way ,
but
to me
you are my best friend ,best in all aspects .
it is difficult for a girl like me to be far away from all the relationships ,
but
the way you care for me reminds me of my father ,
the way you feed me reminds me of my mother,
the way you fight with me reminds me of my sister,
solely you had been my family ,
and our relationship had been friendship all these days.
all these days u stood beside me and
made me the luckiest one
as
i got a friend like u
to wipw out my tears,
to share my happiness,
to boast my confidence,
to believe in me when i dont believe in myself.
hey dear,
the love u shower upon me even made the superior jealous
for not being experienced your shower
and
even the almight was mesmerised watching our bonding
and blessed us with a spell bounded relation , not even evils could enter in between.
each of us makes many of friends in our life time
making millions of friends is not miracle ,
but making a friend like u worth a millions is miracle.
everything has an replacement in this world ,
but there is no replacement for u in my heart.
by the way,
your name (sow ji) itself makes u live 100 years,
but your nature makes u live 100 years in 100 hearts.
every journey has an ending , i wish that my journey with u has no ending
so,
oh my dear best friend ,
please stay with me forever as u are the best thing happened to me ever.
finally ,
i am thankful to god for choosing me as ur best friend and thankful to u for making me as your best friend
They say a friend in need is a friend indeed
Well when I was in need. You left me to bleed
I thought we were family. I was really naive
I thought you'll be always there. You really made me believe
We had some tough times, but I thought we were gonna make it
I never thought you'd become another friendship that just faded.
In a notice board
A poem pinned
When I read
That was good
He was a child
Helping a blind
Cross the road
Then fell a bread
From his hand
He kept in a side
To eat that a bird
That was my friend
He friend in need is a friend indeed

When all my hopes drained away
When my shattered fate show no way
When the dew drops of my wishes dried away
When my evergreen happiness turned to hay
Nowhere to go, I was stuck,
Thinking about my miserable luck
My life which seemed like a scary book
My future gave me a horrified look;
Like a rainbow after rain,
I never knew I had something to gain,
Then came something I should never miss
The one who took me to happiness and bliss.
The one who came and lighted my path
The one who made my life easy like a kid’s math,
The one who I can say, indeed,
“ A friend in need is a friend indeed”
I learned Jack and Gill from my childhood,
Romeo and Juliet in my teens,
Since the first hand touched my right shoulder for friendship,
I'm digging in deep to trace,
Like Romeo and Juliet,
Like Jack and Gill,
Who was the friend in need and who was indeed?
In the pen-
"A friend in need is a friend indeed"
FRIENDSHIP TO WORSHIP
VERSE I
‘A friend in need is a friend indeed’
learnt in school days sowed the seed
to sprout in core of heart turning tree.
Branches of compassion spread in spree.
Blossomed fragrant flowers of emotion.
Ripened delicious fruits of devotion.
Strong bond of friendship went on promise,
smiling in happiness, lending hand on cries.
VERSE II
Souper-friends in interaction are all unseen.
Yet, to share feelings, some are keen.
I find like-minded talented some special one,
staying far forward : Next generation.

A Friend
Making enemies is so easy.
But making a good friend is a very tough deal.
You should be better than him or her
Whom you love.
No matter they recognize your qualities
Of being a good person.
Everyone thinks that they are fair enough
In their own thoughts and in their own ways.
Nuclear bomb is a very powerful weapon
But only love can defeat it
If at all it’s to be neutralised.
I have numerous friends
And I think they are far better than me
Because I kept on searching for a perfect guy.
Who’s perfect? Neither me nor you.
Sometimes I slip words, lose temper
And get ferocious
May be I’m right in my judgement.
Ego is the biggest problem.
I can’t be cool while the situations around me
Are so hot and when I’m succumbing
Fire.
I need peace and that’s the sweetest feeling.
So be calm, cool, serene, truthful.
Spend yourself with your own self.
What’s safer and beautiful than solitude.
Loneliness is just a myth and a false feeling
Why do you go to temples
Leaving your conscience behind and making it
More darker?
The more knowledge you gain, the more ignorant
You will be.
Wisdom is love
Love yourself, love thy neighbour and love
The world.
What’s the use of gathering so much riches
Are they not in vain
When you’re lost in your life?
God is everywhere
But he really lives within you.
Who’s better friend than him
Pursue him, follow him, heed him and spend
Your life with him.
A friend in need is a friend indeed
But when you need, nobody will come
And when anyone need you, you’ll not go.
Everyone will have their own priorities
Trust no one. I think whom you should trust.
If you ask me whom I trust
And if I say, you won’t believe.
Even gold plate needs the support of wall
You definitely need the support
Of a friend.
A friend is the one who you make
And don’t make him an enemy.
Ramakrishna Chowdary Jasthi

What would we do without good friends?
You know, the one we can depend.
The one that always lends an ear.
Our friend who listen's, that is sincere.
You know the friend that's always there.
The heart of gold that always cares.
A friend that could be miles apart.
They hold a place true in your heart.
A friend whose there through thick and thin.
The one whose love comes from within.
The one that knows when chips are down.
They can make you laugh by being the clown.
The one that just picks up that phone.
Which make you feel you're not alone.
When that phone rings, it makes your day.
It brings you close, not far away.
That friend that makes you feel at ease.
Whilst creating lasting memories.
The one that does too much to mention.
And always comes with good intentions.
You know friendship is a powerful force.
This is something I must reinforce.
So here's to friends that help succeed.
Because a friend in need is a friend indeed!
God made us with a special lust,
For friendship with people we trust.
This lust is for kinship with God,
Though oft misplaced because we’re flawed.
Become a friend to make a friend,
strangers can feel the vibes you send.
True friendship is founded on trust,
So being honest is a must.
A friend in need is a friend indeed,
So, make the Golden Rule your creed.
And do your best to be a friend,
The kind who endures to the end.
Human friends though faithful and true,
They have their limitations too.
But there is one whose love is pure,
His friendship will your cravings cure.
So, seek Him out, He’s always near
And longs to draw you to His care.
His friendship you’ll enjoy the most,
As you receive His Holy Ghost.
Your life will blossom like a rose,
Even when facing life’s tough throes.
Jesus your friend will be with you,
To succor and to see you through.
