A friend will stand right by your side,
And help you stem the raging tide.
A friend will fight with you, back to back,
And give you the strength that you lack.
A friend will hold you, to dry your tears;
And make you laugh to quiet your fears.
A friend will tell you when you are wrong,
And direct you back to where you belong.
And friend will lift you up when you are down,
And rescue you from the lost and found.
I have such a friend, who is tried and true;
And, my friend, that is you.
a special friend
is who you are
kind and caring
warm and sharing
a special friend
is who you are
wearing a smiling face
open armed
and warm embrace
a special friend is
who you are
full of love and always in my heart
my sister my friend
is who you are
FRIENDSHIP IS A TREASURE,
THAT IS RARELY FOUND.
BUT WHEN IT IS FOUND,
ITS BEAUTY CHANGES THE LIFE,
OF ITS POSSESSOR!!
NO LONGER POOR IN SPIRIT,
BUT RICH WITH JOY,
THE JOY IN KNOWING SOMEONE CARES.
NO LONGER KEPT AWAKE,
WITH FEELINGS OF INADEQUACY,
BUT GREETED EVERYDAY,
WITH WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT,
THAT ONLY A FRIEND GIVES.
EMBRACED BY ITS ARMS OF UNDERSTANDING,
THAT SEEM LIMITLESS.
ARE YOU UNDERSTANDING THIS?
A FRIEND IS TRULY A GIFT ,
SENT FROM THE HEAVENS ABOVE.
A COMFORTER ,
IN THE THE MIDST OF SORROW.
THAT EXTRA STRENGTH,
THAT CARRIES YOU THROUGH YOUR TOMORROWS.
A FRIEND IS TREASURE RARELY FOUND.
IT LIFTS YOU UP,
NEVER KEEPS YOU DOWN.
TREASURE IT ,
FOR THE TREASURE IT IS!!!
FOR FRIENDSHIP IS KNOWN ,
FOR THE LIFE IT GIVES.
I THANK GOD MY FRIEND HE LIVES!!!!
Within each there's sure to come a day,
when consoling a friend we'll search for words to say.
We try to imagine the funk that they're in,
but can we truly know if we've not there been?
It's during these times that their souls lay bare,
searching for answers or friend to care.
While seeking advice they pour out their hearts,
while continuing to give place to sin's fiery darts.
Their problems most often, almost to the one,
could quickly disappear by going to the Son.
Out of sympathy we may offer encouragement that day,
but the best advice we have is to show them the way.
Bye, bye my friend bye, bye
We shall meet on the other
Shore
Where the skies is blue
My eyes will weep no more
My soul shall find peace within
The beautiful abyss
My heart as light as a summer
Wind breeze
Plunging into the bluest abyss
No darkness my eyes shall see
No more
Bye, bye my friend bye, bye
We shall meet on the other
Shore
Fast for a friend if you can.
Turn down that greasy plate it's not to late.
Fasting allows us to last against things of our past,present and future.
So just fast and pass .Pass those little imps that try to tempt us.
Pass: so you can last throughout salvation's way God's plan for the spiritual man
today.
Fasting for a friend helps us all to win.I fast for you and you fast for me and
everybody can really be happy,happy spiritually and naturally.Balance is key.
Fasting causes great discipline within.If you can turn down that plate,I'm not
trying to player hate. I'm only trying to elevate your fate.
Fasting gives us lots of endurance with much re-assurance to allow the fleshy
part of us to die.
Fasting to the dying of the caranality into spiritually,and remember always ,
balance is key.
Fast for a friend today!
A Friend
A friend is someone who cares, someone who dares you to be special; A friend
knows you as well as you know yourself; A friend treats you as you deserve to be
treated; A friend shows you your inner beauty; A friend above all else is you; A
friend is your spirit, your soul, and your eternal.
Jeff Muchnik
A FRIEND LIKE YOU
A FRIEND LIKE YOU IS HARD TO FIND
IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOUR MADE UP IN MY MIND
YOU LISTEN WHEN I NEED SOMEONE
YOU NEVER SPEAK UNTILL I'M DONE
YOU ASK ME HOW I'M DOING TODAY
YOU TELL ME THAT FOR ME YOU'LL PRAY
A FRIEND THAT HELPS OUT BY WORDS ALONE
AND SPEAKS TO ME IN THE SWEETEST TONE
YOU NEVER SAY THINGS THAT MAY HURT
OR TREAT ME LIKE I AM DIRT
YOUR ALWAYS THERE WHEN I TURN ON MY SCREEN
YOUR ALWAYS NICE AND NEVER MEAN
ALTHOUGH I KNOW YOU NOT BY FACE
A FRIEND LIKE YOU I COULD NEVER REPLACE....
