I Found You An on-line friends poem...
Somehow in this great big world I found my way to you My friend across the computer lines my heart, my soul, that's who. You try to make me smile with the mail you send my way. You never fail to drop a line each and every day. Whenever I have hurried home with something, I must share, I find it just so comforting that you are always there. Encouragement you give me and a friendship that is true. I'm glad my soul while reaching out found someone like you...

Friendship By Kari Lauer
It's something no one can replace It's also something of true grace When things sometimes don't go your way, your friends will be there, come what may. They'll always find it in their hearts, to forgive and do their part. To trust and always have hope and faith, There are few things on this earth so great. So treasure friendship from the start. And hope that it will not depart. For it will always bring a smile, This special love that makes life worthwhile.

A Special Bond by Rae Scales
Even though we have never met, I feel a bond between us. A bond that should have taken years to build, Yet was built in a month or two. A bond that lifelong friends should have, Although most never do. A bond that I am glad to share with you... My Friend and Confidant. You are not here in body and soul, But as a lighted rectangle. You come to me every day as A message on my screen, A message that I can rely on To cheer me up and make my day. Through a keyboard we share Our ups and downs. I have opened my inner self to you, And you have to me as well. We have traded secrets and laughs, As well as sorrows and pain. I have never met you, but feel as if I have known you most of my life. To most this might sound silly, But I assure them, it is not.

A Special Friend Author Unknown
I'd like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me; I'd like to be the help that you've been always glad to be; I'd like to mean as much to you each minute of the day As you have meant, old friend of mine, to me along the way. I'd like to do the big things and the splendid things for you, To brush the gray from out your skies and leave them only blue; I'd like to say the kindly things that I so oft have heard, And feel that I could rouse your soul the way that mine you've stirred. I'd like to give you back the joy that you have given me, Yet that were wishing you a need I hope will never be; I'd like to make you feel as rich as I, who travel on Undaunted in the darkest hours with you to lean upon. I'm wishing at this time that I could but repay A portion of the gladness that you've strewn along my way; And could I have one wish, this only would it be: I'd like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me.

A Special Friend By Rae Scales
You've touched my heart, You've helped me through, My pain and sorrow, which weren't too few. You shared my smiles, and my tears. You were always there, to squelch my fears. To you my friend and confidant, I give my heart of love, My smiles of laughter, and the hope that, We will remain friends, forever and after.

Cherished Friends Author Unknown
God must have know there would be times we'd need a word of cheer, Someone to praise a triumph or brush away a tear. He must have known we'd need to share the joy of "little things" In order to appreciate the happiness life brings. I think He knew our troubled hearts would sometimes throb with pain, At trials and misfortunes, or goals we can't attain. He knew we'd need the comfort of an understanding heart To give us strength and courage to make a fresh, new start. He knew we'd need companionship, unselfish....lasting....true, And so God answered the heart's great need with Cherished Friends....like you!!

Journey of Life Author Unknown
Do not undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others, It is because we are different that each of us is special. Do not set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you. Do not take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless Do not let your life slip through your fingers By living in the past nor for the future. By living your life one day at a time, You live all the days of your life. Do not give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. It is a fragile thread that binds is to each other. Do not be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave. Do not shut out of your life by saying it is impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give love; The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly. In addition, the best way to keep love is to give it wings. Do not dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope; To be without hope is to be without purpose. Do not run through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been, but also where you are going. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

A Friend Is...
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 Better and Happier Place. Are you a FRIEND?

Life Without Friendship
Life without friendship... is like the dawn without the sun. Life without friendship... is like the sky without the moon when the evening has begun. Life without friendship... is like a rose without rain. Life without friendship... just wouldn't be the same. Life without friendship... is like a ship without a sea. Life without friendship... just could not be without a friend like you for me.

Friend...from "The Prophet" This extract is taken from "The Prophet", by Kanhlil Gibran, published by William Heinemann Ltd: London in 1984 (first published 1926)
"And a youth said, Speak to us of Friendship. And he answered, saying: Your friend is your needs answered. He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving. And he is your board and your fireside. For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace. When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the "nay" in your own mind, nor do you withhold the "ay". And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart; For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unclaimed. When you part from your friend, you grieve not; For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain. And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit. For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught. And let your best be for your friend. If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know the flood also. For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill? Seek him always with hours to live. For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness. And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed."

A Friend Is Like A Flower...
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 those blades of grass -- you can never mow, standing straight, tall, and proud -- in a perfect little row 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.

Self Control A Poem Created By: Cherilynn's Words From The Heart
I've heard it said don't go to bed while hanging on to sorrow, you may not have the chance to laugh with those you love tomorrow. You may not mean the words you speak when anger takes its toll, you may regret your actions once you've lost your self-control. When you've lost your temper and you've said some hurtful things, think about the heartache that your actions sometime bring. You'll never get those moments back, such precious time to waste, and all because of things you said in anger and in haste. So if you're loving someone and your pride has settled in, you may not ever have the chance to say to them again... "I love you and I miss you and although we don't agree, I'll try to see your point of view, please do the same for me."

If Tomorrow Never Comes
If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute or two to stop and say "I love you," instead of assuming, you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, well, I'm sure you'll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything right.
There will always be another day to say our "I love you's", And certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do's?"
But just in case I might be wrong and today is all I get, I'd like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget, Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day, That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today, whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear, Take time to say "I'm sorry," "please forgive me," "thank you" or "it's okay". And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.

The Greatest Pain In Life
The greatest pain in life is not to die, but to be ignored. To lose the person you love so much to another who doesn't care at all. To have someone you care so about so much throw a party... and not tell you about it. When your favorite person on earth neglects to invite you to his graduation. To have people think that you don't care. The greatest pain in life, is not to die, but to be forgotten. To be left in the dust after another's great achievement. To never get a call from a friend, just saying "hi". When you show someone your innermost thoughts and they laugh in your face. For friends to always be too busy to console you when you need someone to lift your spirits. When it seems like the only person who cares about you, is you. Life is full of pain, but does it ever get better? Will people ever care about each other, and make time for those who are in need? Each of us has a part to play in this great show we call life. Each of us has a duty to mankind to tell our friends we love them. If you do not care about your friends you will not be punished. You will simply be ignored... forgotten... as you have done to others.
