Friendship is the bread of life. It is essential to our well being. We could not survive without it. Ever since the beginning of time we have been extending the hand of friendship to each other. In very primitive communities, having the help of others in a crisis is a matter of survival. However, even in today's world where it seems as if we could survive without ever talking to another human being, friendship is important. Friendship is a prerequisite to sanity. We are social human beings and we need friends to survive.

Sharing good times with good friends is the greatest joy. This is the stuff that makes life worthwhile.

Those of us that do have friends must never take for granted the gift bestowed upon us.

Forever And Always !!!
Whenever you feel sad and that no one is around
Always know I will be around.
When you think that nobody cares
I hope you know that I will always care.
When you feel like no one is by your side
I’ll be there even if the tide is high
So don't let me catch you saying
You have no one and that no one is around
Wake up get out of this haze
I’ll always be your friend forever and always.

We are best friends, never deceiving.
Sometimes we fight. sometimes we cry.
We're best friends, we never lie.
Life- long pals means best pals forever and ever.
We'll never be apart, never.
But some things change. you moved away.
I thought you were here to always stay.
But we made a promise to be life long pals.
We turned out to be the best gals.
If something ever happened to you, I'd remember we made a friendship pact.
Everybody knows we're friends, yep that's a true fact.
I will always love you no matter where you may be.
Just remember to always remember me!

Someone who changes your life
just by being part of it.
Someone who makes you laugh
until you can't stop;
Someone who makes you believe
that there really is good in the world.
Someone who convinces you
that there really is an unlocked door
just waiting for you to open it.

A friend is somebody
Who knows you and likes you
Exactly the way that you are...
Someone who's special
And so close in thought
That no distance can ever seem far.
A friend understands you without any words,
Stands by you when nothing goes right...
And willingly talks over problems with you
Till they somehow just vanish from sight.
And whether you're neighbors or live miles apart,
A word from a friend gives a lift
To your heart and spirit that shows you once more
Why friendship is life's dearest gift!
My Friend !
Whenever I think of the times we've shared together,
I'm reminded of the pains and heartaches we've had to weather.
It seems no matter what's going on,
To find comfort we don't have to wait too long.
What then do we do when times get harder, as we continue to grow older?
Let me just say this to you,
Our friendship is very dear and special, too.
So please, no matter what happens between us,
Don’t let our friendship turn to dust.
Or I will without a doubt fall apart,
With the pieces of my broken heart.
~ Heidi Davin.
True Friends !
Best friends stick together till the end,
They are like a straight line that will not bend.

They help you up when you fall,
Your true friends are best of all.

The best mirror is an old friend.
The best possession one may have is a true friend.
Make friendship a habit and you will always have friends.
You will never have a friend if you must have one without faults.
Doing nothing for your friends results in having no friends to do for.
Anyone can give advice, but a real friend will lend a helping hand.
You can make more friends by being interested in them than
trying to have them be interested in you.
A friend should be radical;
They should love you when you're unlovable,
Hug you when you're unhuggable,
And bear you when you're unbearable.
A friend should be fanatical;
They should cheer when the whole world boos,
Dance when you get good news,
And cry when you cry.
But most of all, a friend should be mathematical,
They should multiply the joy, Divide the sorrow,
Subtract the past, And add to tomorrow,
Calculate the need deep within your heart,
And always be bigger than the sum of all their parts.

Friendship needs no studied phrases,
Polished face, or winning wiles;
Friendship deals no lavish praises,
Friendship dons no surface smiles.
Friendship follows nature's diction,
Shuns the blandishments of art,
Boldly severs truth from fiction,
Speaks the language of the heart.
Friendship favors no condition,
Scorns a narrow-minded creed,
Lovingly fulfills its mission,
Be it word or be it deed.
Friendship cheers the faint and weary,
Makes the timid spirit brave,
Warns the erring, lights the dreary,
Smooths the passage to the grave.
Friendship-pure, unselfish friendship,
All through life's allotted span,
Nurtures, strengthens, widens, lengthens,
Man's relationship with man.
~ Anonymous Americas.
Friendship stands the test of time,
Where-ever the place, whatever the clime.
Friendship is mellow, friendship is strong,
Friendship stands fast during sorrow and song.

Acknowledges truth yet strives to be kind.
Friendship is something with feet on the ground,
Be thankful for friendship where-ever it's found.
~ Mill Field.
Friendship is a gift,
That you choose to give away.

That you hold near and dear in your heart.
Friendship is a bond,
That keeps us from growing apart.

The best of friends,
Can change a frown,
Into a smile,

Your secret dreams,
Because they care.
The best of friends,
Worth more than gold,
Give all the love,
A heart can hold.

Everyone should have a friend like you
You are so much fun to be with
And you are such a good person
You crack me up with laughter
And touch my heart with your kindness
You have a wonderful ability
To know when to offer advice
And when to sit in quiet support
Time after time
You've come to my rescue
And brightened so many of my routine days
And time after time
I've realized how fortunate
I am that my life includes you
I really do believe that
Everybody should have a friend like you
But so far it looks like
You are one of a kind!

A Golden Chain !
Friendship is a Golden Chain,
The links are friends so dear,
And like a rare and precious jewel
It's treasured more each year...
It's clasped together firmly
With a love that's deep and true,
And it's rich with happy memories
and fond recollections, too...
Time can't destroy its beauty
For, as long as memory lives,
Years can't erase the pleasure
That the joy of friendship gives...
For friendship is a priceless gift
That can't be bought or sold,
But to have an understanding friend
Is worth far more than gold...
And the Golden Chain of Friendship
Is a strong and blessed tie
Binding kindred hearts together
As the years go passing by.
~ Helen Steiner Rice.

all the tears
most of all,all the memories
of times i will hold so dear
of friendship that will never die
friend ship that will last
forever through eternity . .
