Friendship
By Jennifer Boyle
Some people think,
Friendship is like dust,
Something you can just blow away.
Some people think,
Friendship is like a rose.
It starts out a small bud,
Overtime it blooms into a beautiful flower,
But eventually dies.
But I think friendship...
is like a star in the sky,
It looks bright sometimes,
Other times it looks dull,
But it is always there.
Recipe for Friendship
2 heaping cups of patience
1 heartful of love
2 handfuls of generosity
1 headful of understanding
a dash of humor
Sprinkle generously with kindness and plenty of faith.
Mix well.
Spread over a lifetime and serve to everyone you meet.
Take Care of Your Friends
Friend is a word
that I don't throw around.
Though it's used and abused,
I still like the sound.
I save it for people
who've done right by me.
And I know I can count on,
if ever need be.
Some of my friends
drive big limousines.
Own ranches and banks
and visit with queens.
And some of my friends
are up to their neck
In overdue notes
and can't write a check.
They're singers or ropers
or writers of prose.
And others, God bless 'em,
can't blow their own nose!
I guess bein' friends
don't have nothing' to do
With talent or money
or knowin' who's who.
It's a comfortable feelin'
when you don't have to care,
'Bout chosin' your words
or bein' quite fair.
'Cause friends'll just listen
and let go on by
Those words you don't mean
and not bat an eye.
It makes a friend happy
to see your success.
They're proud of yer good side
and forgive all the rest.
And that ain't so easy,
all of the time.
Sometimes I get crazy
and seem to go blind!
Yer friend just might have
to take you on home,
Or remind you sometime,
that you're not alone.
Or ever so gently
pull you back to the ground,
When you think you can fly,
with no one around.
A hug or a shake,
whichever seems right
Is the high point of givin',
I'll tell ya tonight,
All worldly riches
and tributes of men,
Can't hold a candle
to the worth of a friend.
Friendship Tea Poems
I cannot sit and chat with you,
the way I always like to do.
So brew yourself a cup of tea,
I'll think of you, you think of me.
------------------------------------------------
I wish we could sit down together
and have a cup of tea,
but since we can't when you have this one,
I hope you'll think of me.
