When life becomes difficult
Sometimes you find
That it helps if you know
You're on somebody's mind.

And I just want to say
That whatever you do,
Please remember that someone
Is thinking of you !

So don't ever feel lonely
Or full of despair,
If you need me I promise
I'll always be there!

If there is one ingredient which adds
warmth and love to our lives...
it is friendship.

If there is one relationship to help
us through all the others...
it is friendship.

Friends surround us with the beauty
of there caring. With friends we can
share what we see, what we feel,
and what we love.

Friends help us with our problems
because they listen. And as they listen
we begin to hear the language of...
our own hearts.

With friends we can walk along the
remembered paths of our lives and
completely share our experiences.

With friends we can work the soil of
forgotten dreams that needed to be
tended and nurtured once again.

With friends we can plant the seed
of our hearts new dreams.

We can always return to a friend like
going back to a special place...
and find the same warm feeling
unchanged by time or distance.

Life gives us friends so we can share
the precious times and memorable moments
of being children, and teenagers,
and adults, and parents and grandparents.

Life gives us friends so we can share
the growing up...and growing down and old.

With friends we have a place to go to be
accepted and understood.
Together we can laugh.
Together we can cry.
Our thoughts are heard,
our feelings are held
in the heart of a friend.

With friends our lives are made
more full, more rich, more open,
beautiful and blessed!

I am Glad I Have
You as a Friend.

Thank you for sending me little things
To make me think, laugh or smile.
For when I am down, it picks me up
If only for a while.

That is why friends are so dear,
Just because they care for you.
And you know they're there with a listening ear
Or to take away the blues.

And I give thanks for all the friends
The good Lord sends my way
For He knows we all need some cheer
Each and every day.

So to all my wonderful friends,
I send my love to you
Because I know that you're my friend
Forever, through and true.

So take these sunflowers, my special friend,
And hold them close to your heart
And always remember me, your friend,
And we'll never be apart.

Friends smile at you.
They like your face.
They want to be with you
Any old place.

Friends have fun with you.
Friends share
They’re glad when you’re happy
When you’re sad, they care.

If you’re a friend
Then you care, too.
That’s why your friends
Are glad you’re you!!!

I Like You Just
the Way You Are!

You're such a wonderful friend,
A blessing so special and rare.
To have a friend like you
Is an answer to my prayer!
So I send you a loving 'Thank You!'
For all of your warm, caring ways,
And hope God will bless you forever
With the brightest and happiest days.

Thank you for being such
a wonderful friend to me.
