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.
