TITLE: DEAR FRIEND, WITH LOVE FROM ME.
Dear friend i know you're hurting,
I can see it in your eyes,
You say your heart is breaking
And your stomach's done in ties,
Dear friend i see you crying,
And it rips my heart in two,
I see your pain and suffering,
My sympathy goes to you,
Dear friend i hear you cursing,
And wishing life away,
But i promise life will get better,
More so with everyday,
Dear friend i feel you shaking,
As i hold you in my arms,
At this moment there's part of you missing,
That certain special charm,
Dear friend i feel your pain,
I need for you to see,
That everytime you cry these tears,
You take a part of me,
Dear friend please know i'm here for you,
To share some of your pain,
To be here for you when it's sunny,
And even when it rains,
Dear friend you need to know that,
These words they are the truth,
Not jsut to make you feel better,
Although i can offer you know proof,
Dear friend this letter must end now,
For i have said what i needed to say,
I am always here for you to talk to,
Whether the time be night or day.
the end
Valarie, Broken Doll

What Reason Then
Blessed are the days we live
Bless the love we have to give
For if we had no love to give
What reason then have we to live
Blessed are the friends we make
Bless the joy from them we take
For if there were no joy to take
What reason then for friends to make
A giving heart is what we share
With those for whom we really care
But if we really didnt care
What reason then our hearts to share
Rejoice when good friends come your way
Give blessings to that special day
But if your life they werent part
We wouldnt bless what they impart
Blessed are the ones we love
Whose friendship is so well thought of
And if those friends for you are there
What reason then to go elsewhere

Build A Box Of Friendship
Into a box of friendship
To insure that it is strong
First a layer of respect
On the bottom does belong
Then to the sides attach
In the corners where they meet
Several anchors full of trust
Devoid of all deceit
The height of friendship can be measured
By the sides of four
So make them all a larger cut
And the box will hold much more
Now fill it up with courtesy
Honor and esteem
Understanding, sympathy
And passion for a dream
Add to that your honesty
Emotions joy and love
And since theyre so important
Place them up above
But leave the box wide open
So all can see inside
To learn what makes a friendship work
From the box you built with pride

FRIENDSHIP IS BLIND
Written by Alee818@aol.com
There once was a boy
who felt all alone
he had no friends
not even a loving home
he wanted to laugh
he wanted to play
just not by himself
like he did everyday
nobody would talk to him
they would sit and stare
making jokes
being unaware
little did they know he was all alone
wishing his life away
when one day he gave up
and thought that there was only one way
he died all alone in his bed
he took his own life
its sad to say
he used a knife
when finally they found him
leaving behind
a note that said
friendship is blind
if only one person would have known
or even tried
to see the nice boy who he was
he would not have died
if one single person
would have showed they cared
he would be alive now
he wouldn't of been scared

I Need You
Written by K.C.
whenever something happens good
its never left to be
something bad must change it fast
nothing good is meant for me
Best Friend is not in the dictionary
its a word with out a description
i guess that means its something good
me having one would be a confliction
just recently i thought i got lucky
my luck had started to transpose
i met a best friend who i can trust
i think wow i'm Lucky! now who knows?
a few months went by
and i had a true best friend
i had the most fun ever w/ him
that i never wanted it to end
but now lately i feel shaken
i feel like i'm gonna lose
the best thing that ever happened to me
and its giving me the blues
i can't aford to lose him now
who knows what i can do
he was the bestest friend i ever had
and i hope he knows that too
Whenever i was feeling down
he'd always help me out
and i always did the same for him
to get rid of that pout
he'd write me little letters
just to show he cared
i wrote him back just the same
to lose his care i'm scared
there is so much more i can write
but i'm gonna start to tear
this is not gonna be a good end
to the very bestest year
so before our friendship starts to fade
and you love me less and less
don't worry if i fall apart
and my life becomes a mess
don't blame yourself for a minute
cuz you weren't there til the end
i guess i just can't handle life
Without you as my best friend

A Friend
Written by Kristy

When the world is looking bad and hard to face,
And the only thing you can think is "What's happening to this place?"
When nothing seems to go your way,
When no one will listen to a word you say,
When the world is spinning but you're standing still,
And you seem to be the only one who doesn't want to "just chill."
When the walls start closing in on you.
When you feel there's nothing you can do.
When the pressure gets to be too great.
And you start to wonder if you can change your fate,
Just turn around and look to a friend.
Broken bones and hearts they can mend.
They can help you through the bad and share the good,
And tell you you can when you didn't think you could.
They will hold your hand and lead you through.
They will laugh with you and cry with you too.
They will give you a hug just because they feel like it,
And when everyone else does they will not quit.
So when the world has got you down and you feels there's o way out,
And the only thing you can do is lift your head and shout,
Just turn around and you will be surprised to see,
The friend that will be there for you is none other than me.

Friends

Friends, Friends, Friends for ever
We will always be together
Dont say Good Bye
Dont ever cry
Friends Friends Friends Forever

A Friend is a pal, a buddy, maybe even a companion
Always beside you through think and thin
A friend is there to hold your hand
When things get rough down the line.
But when you have a bad day
Who gets the short end of the rope
When things are not going so well
Who really deals with more.
Your friends do.
A friend is there to take your burdens
To make your life easier to handle
No matter what the situation may be
Or what is going on in thier life
A friend is there when you get let down
Or when all you seem to do is frown
A friend is someone who will always be by your side
No matter how many times life lets you down
A friend won't.
You may feel like you have been walked on
Maybe even drug into the ground
But when you have a friend
It all seems so much easier to cope.
So next time you think life is so bad
Look around, someone, somewhere
Has it worse off than you
Someone, somewhere, don't have
Someone to talk to or someone to hold
If you see someone walking by
That may need to smile
Or just someone to say Hi
Take a minute and say hello
You will be suprised how
some people will glow
No matter what you have
Been through or what life brings
Everyone needs a friend
A real friend, someone who will
Be there all the time, not just sometimes
That someone may be as close
As your own front door
Or at work, school, lunch
Who knows maybe even in the store
No matter what you do
Or how you do it.
Take each day as a gift
And make an effort to let others know you care
Be a friend to others
As you have been for me
Because there is not better gift
Than a friend like you for me
Thank you for being there
When I needed you,
Maybe it was just someone to talk to
or just someone to hug tight.
THANK YOU

My New Best Friend
Today I met a great new friend,
Who knew me right away!
It was funny how she understood,
All I had to say!
She listened to my problems,
She listened to my dreams!
We talked about love and life,
She'd been there, too, it seemed!
I never once felt judged by her,
She knew just how I felt!
She seemed to just accept me,
And all the problems I'd been dealt!
She didn't intererupt me,
But soothed all my pain!
She just listened very patiently,
And didn't go away!
How lucky I am,
To have such a great friend!
I'll love you always,
And forever til the end!

Moving On"
You say you want to be friends
and that you still care,
But when I talk to you, it seems
like you're not really there.
You say words, but that's
all that they are;
there's no feeling behind them, it's almost
as if they're said from afar.
I just don't get it -
what did I ever do to you?
I just can't believe it, I
thought I was your Boo.
I gave you all I had to give -
even my most prized possession.
And all you gave me in the end was
this pain to which I'm confessin'.
"Is love only for fools?"
I constantly ask myself.
Then why is it every girl's dream to have the storybook
romance they've seen stowed away in their shelf?
Could he have been my once Prince Charming?
I used to believe it that he was my fate,
But now I thank God that I discovered there
are many more out there before it was too late.
And yet, until I meet that
one true soul match,
I'll walk along this twisted path, wearily
waiting for a new love to hatch.

MY FRIENDS
When I'm with my friends,
The fun never ends.
What ever we do
There's always some news.
We laugh and we shout,
There's always something good to talk about.
It doesn't matter where we go,
Even in rain, or even in snow.
We'll be together,
And I hope that's forever.
The fun never ends,
When I'm with my friends.

Jinx
Written by Melissa Blaylock
Dedicated to a Guy i used to go to school with.
I told you that I loved you,
But you turned me away.
I said I wanted to be with you,
But you said you could not stay.
Everything that I want from you,
You say that it can't be done.
All I want is the two of us,
But you only want to be one.
I don't know what has happened,
All the love is starting to sink mentioned.
I don't know who messed us up,
Who is responsible for this jinx.

Leaving my Vatan
by: Hamid Almozaffar (Hamidalmozaffar@hotmail.com)
I'm going my friend
to a better place
but tell me my friend
will u remember my face
I am leaving this land
for a better place
but i tell you my friend
I will miss this place
I left you my friend
for the better place
but tell me my friend
are my memories in place
Now I reached the better place
but i tell you my friend i cried for
my land my memories
and most of all
your face
I tell you now my friend
I had the better place
I had you, my land and my dreams in that place
To my dearest cousin, and my best friend forever

*Don't ever loose your friends*
Why is it when your all alone, everyone is there.
And when you really need a friend, a moment they can't spare.
An example was the other week, before I lost my Dave.
I just sat trying to capture all the moments to save.
But my friends wanted me dearly they begged me to come out.
But I just made excuses, I didn't want to shout.
I only wanted him, I didn't want nothing more,
Now I know I'm stupid as he walked out of my door.
He left me all alone with no where else to go.
Now I need my friends as am bored and feeling low.
But I can't find them anywhere, so I feel all alone,
But they weren't gone forever, they lent me their ear.
So I could tell them everything that had happened all that year.
I would never swap my friends for anyone else on this earth,
And I promise you that or my name isn't Nichola Firth.

changes of a Friendship
You used to be my very best friend .
So much that I thought it would never end .
Secrets we had few .
I thought it would last forever, I know you did too .
We had fights, but they didn't last long,
and each one made our friendship more lasting and
strong .
I'll never really admit it but, I guess we grew apart .
You always did the stupid things and I always had to be smart .
It seems to me that everything started when you moved away
As" best friend " was no longer a word for us I knew things would never be the
okay .
You also suffered a great loss and, I cried so much for
you .
Your mother was your whole life . I heard you cry, but I didn't know what to
do .
You got involved with the wrong crowd .
You started doing and using things you weren't allowed .
I knew that you would change some day,
but never in my mind did I think it would be in this way .

What Is a Friend?
You are always there for me
no matter how hard of a time
I am going through.
Your shoulder is always there to cry on
When I need it most.
Your ears are always listening
for my worries and problems.
I can act myself around you
and have fun with you at
at all times.
You always make me think the best of things
including myself.
You respect my decisions to problems
even if you don't agree.
Most of all you are someone
I am no ashamed to call friend.
Love,
Nolte

Changes
"Friends forever," you promised.
"Together till the end."
We did everything with eachother,
You were my best friend.
When I was sad, you were by my side,
When I was scared, you felt my fear.
You were my best support-----
If I needed you, you were there.
You were the greatest friend,
You always knew what to say:
You made everything seem better.
As long as we had eachother,
Everything would be okay.
But somewhere along the line,
We slowly came apart.
I was here, you were there,
It tore a whole in my heart.
Things were changing,
Our cheerful music reversed its tune.
It was like having salt without pepper,
A sun without it's moon.
Suddenly we were miles apart.
Two different people, with nothing the same.
It was as if we hadn't been friends;
Although we knew deep in our hearts,
Neither one of us was to blame.
You had made many new friends
And luckily so had I
But that didn't change the hurt-----
The loss of our friendship made me cry.
As we grow older, things must change
But they don't always have to end.
Even though it's different, now,
You will always be my friend.

A Friends Out There
Though at times the road may seem too long
and it feels like it may never end
just remember-no matter how hopeless life seem
you'll always have a friend.
He may not be the guy next door
but when you find him, he'll be there
now and forever more.
So I promise you that there is someone out there
you'll find, to listen to all your problems
and help you regain your peace-of-mind.
Now just remember-wherever your road leads to,
there will always be someone out there
who loves you just because you're you.

MY BEST FRIEND
My best friend, shes really cool,
And just for me shell act the fool.
Shell lend me clothes and help me through,
All the traumas of boys and school.
Shell share her secrets and Ill share mine.
When Im with her I have a great time.
Well do each others make-up and talk about boys.
Well play some music and make lots of noise.
At the end of the day when I go home,
Well talk some more on the telephone.
After a while well say goodnight,
I hope to god we never fight.

*FRIENDS*
by antonia bailey the poet
friends who are always there
are friends who will always care
friends who never let you down
are friends who will never wear a frown
friends who forgive
are friends who will love and live

This is a poem written by Loren Mayo.
and it's called
"Please Come Back"
I thought that friends we would always be
But I guess I predicted wrong
I thought that you would stay with me eternally
But somewhere along the line I lost you
You disappeared from me
I'm slowly beginning to fall apart
In ways I never thought I'd be able
Losing you is like losing my way in life
I haven't been quite sure what direction
I'm headed since you've been gone
I never imagined my heart could endure this much pain
And I haven't realized I'll never see you again
I can't move on; I'm still stuck in the past
Picturing your smiling face in front of me
I'm lost without you
Just a wandering soul without a flashlight, searching around in the dark for a way out
I can't breathe without you
You were like a burning candle that lit up my life when I was upset
A true friend who saved me from the evil ways of the world and protected me
And lying here awaiting the moment when I see you again is pure torture
Come back and stay with meThen life will be perfect
I miss you so much that my heart is ripping in half
I love you
