You magnify my happiness

Friendship is love but not in love
Friendship is love but not in love
Friendship is a secret never to be told
Friendship is a shoulder to cry on
Friendship is not having to say sorry but do
Friendship is not judging no matter what
Friendship is someone to run too when things are tough
Friendship is a hand to hold when things are so rough
Friendship is someone to laugh with not at you
Friendship is just knowing they are there
My friend is all of these hope you have one just like her…
-Christina
**********************
You are a great friend
You are a great friend
A best friend
I’ll be there when the tears start to fall
And the rays of sunshine hits
We shall play a game of soccer in the rain
We will be friends to the end of time
I’ll be there when you break your knee
When you are to scared to cry
I will be there when time passes by
And I hope you’ll be there to.
**********************
Whenever my life feels empty
Whenever my life feels empty,
Those times when I feel a lack,
I thank God for your special friendship,
Because I know you’ve got my back.
When I wonder about life’s true meaning,
And whether it all makes sense,
With a word or a smile from you, friend,
I forget my silly laments.
I guess what I’m trying to say, friend,
Is with all your support and your giving,
You brighten each minute I’m with you,
And make every day well worth living.
-Joanna Fuchs
**********************
Your friend is one who answers to your needs
Your friend is one who answers to your needs
the field you sow with love, and reap with thanks,
you seek him for your peace, to hear his heart,
and when he’s silent – still his heart you hear,
because, with words or not, you share his joy,
in presence or in absence he is there,
and stronger love may in his absence show,
the beauty of a love that asks for naught.
So tell your friend of all that ebbs and flows,
your best and worst of what fate deals to you,
no thought too great nor light for open minds
who share their pleasures, and their laughter too.
For in the dew of sweet and passing thoughts
each morning’s fresh, for close and constant hearts.
-Michael Shepherd
**********************
It’s such a pleasure and a joy
It’s such a pleasure and a joy
To have a friend like you.
You always care, you’re always there,
You say the right things, too!
You make me smile when I am low
You’re just a pure delight.
We talk a lot about everything;
You make my life so bright!
I hope that I am giving you
Some joy and happiness,
Because you mean so much to me,
More than I can express!
-Joanna Fuchs
**********************
Your friendship is a gift of God
Your friendship is a gift of God
Its delight I cannot measure,
Your friendship is a gift of God
It is full of joy and pleasure,
Your friendship is gift of God
I’ll never want to sever,
Your friendship is a gift of God
It is utmost of my treasure.
-Anna D. Kamas

Someone to lean on when problems appear
Someone to lean on when problems appear,
Someone on whom you’d depend,
Someone who’ll lift you when you’re down in the dumps,
That someone is truly a friend.
That’s how I feel about you my dear friend;
You’re so special just as you are.
Just to know that you’re there provides comfort to spare;
A friendship like yours sets the bar.
– Karl and Joanna Fuchs

A friendship is a bond you have with someone else
A friendship is a bond you have with someone else
A friendship is special just like one’s gift.
A friendship is a time to share your feelings
A friendship is something very remembering.
A friendship is something I truly have
A friendship is something everyone should want to last.
A friend is there to be by your side
A friend is there to tell you everything is going to be alright.
A friendship Into every life a little rain must fall..
Call me any time you need an umbrella!
-Pater Stavropoulos
**********************
Loneliness, anxiety, and despair
Loneliness, anxiety, and despair,
isolation, sorrow, bitterness –
these the cruel concerns, observers note,
that press upon our current consciousness.
To name mind’s enemies is good for mind:
for straightway, two arch-fiends themselves reveal:
separation, and false sense of loss.
These enemies now named, what salve may heal?
Think one – the other follows; thus, one fiend,
whose only weapon is that thought of loss.
But we own that which we can never lose;
yet know not – ’til we give it – ever ours:
give what you think you have not: that which mends
these cruel concerns in others: love of friends.
Michael Shepherd
**********************
My best friend would be
My best friend would be
someone with whom I can share
ideas, laughs, troubles, fun,
my innermost thoughts,
things I tell no one else,
someone who listens
and really cares.
That is why
my best friend is you.
-Joanna Fuchs
**********************
You made me love the teachings of Tagore
You made me love the teachings of Tagore.
My thoughts were mesmerized by your sitar.
I kept the little flowers from India,
Artfully pressed to span a century.
Creative journeys never really end.
Our era is a lamp that still burns on.
I send some thoughts like flowers overseas
Their fragrance will outlast both you and me.
Your world class mind inspires me every day
To build a friendship bridge from West to East.
By touching souls with others, I touch yours.
The wonder of that sets two worlds alight.
– Sandra Fowler

A friend is like a forest
A friend is like a forest,
Or a lovely, calm blue sea,
A refuge from life’s problems,
As only a friend can be.
A friend is like a song,
Soothing to the brain,
Distracting us from trouble,
Neutralizing pain.
A friend is like some ice cream
On a sweltering summer day,
Making life delicious,
In a friend’s own special way.
A friend is like a blanket,
Bringing peace and rest,
A cocoon of warmth and pleasure;
When we are tired or stressed.
A friend is a bit of everything
That makes life good and sweet,
And you, my friend, are all that;
You make my life complete!
– Joanna Fuchs

You are a shelter
You are a shelter
From life’s frequent storm;
Like a comfortable blanket;
You keep me snug, safe and warm.
You’re a light in the window
When everything’s dark;
You’re a trip to the circus,
A romp in the park.
Like a bright, sunny summer,
You are joy without end;
And I’m so very privileged
To call you my friend.
– Joanna Fuchs

Whether the day is good or bad
Whether the day is good or bad,
Whether I’m feeling happy or sad,
If I have a need, you’ll comprehend;
You’ll be there to share and be a friend.
Other people may fill my day,
But never in such an important way;
We support each other ‘round all life’s bends,
It feels so good that we are friends.

We share so much of our lives
We share so much of our lives
Our joy and also our pain.
Without you as my friend,
I just might go insane!
You know what I’m talking about;
You’ve been through big things, too.
Yet you cheer me when I’m happy,
You comfort me when I’m blue.
Your giving does not go unnoticed;
I’d be lost without you, friend.
What we have together
No one else can comprehend.
– Joanna Fuchs

Lord please give my treasured friend
Lord please give my treasured friend
Love and blessings without end.
Bring contentment in her life;
Comfort her in times of strife.
Always keep her safe, secure;
Let her path to You be sure.
Lord, I pray my friend will be
Close to you, eternally.

The feeling of friendship from the start
The feeling of friendship from the start
Is that special feeling in your heart.
A feeling from deep down inside
A feeling that no one should hide.
A friend is there through good and bad
They make you happy when you’re sad.
they brighten up your darkest day
Just by the simple thing’s they say.
Now friendship can’t be bought or sold
It may get tarnished, and may get old.
You can over come your greatest fear
Just look around and it is there.
Now friendship’s one and only cost
Is to make sure that it’s never lost.
– William S. Tsoukalas, Sr.

Friendship is love
Friendship is love,
Without friendship love means nothing!
Without friendship love is empty…
Without friendship love is boring…!
Friendship means sharing…
People learn to share from friendship,
Share everything they have in life,
Friendship is like stars,
Even though we always see them together
Always mean to each other…
But,
Sometimes they argue!
Friendship is like flower,
Soft but strong!
Friendship is like sun,
Bright and beautiful!
Friendship is everything in life,
Life without friendship is like life without air…
Life without friendship is like eats without food
And
Life without friendship is like body without soul…
Friendship is wide!
Anybody can be our friend,
Our parents, our grandparents, our sister,
our brother and even our school principal!
Friendship….
Is everything!
– Qistina Zaini

Our true friendship isn’t what I see with my eyes
Our true friendship isn’t what I see with my eyes,
it is felt within my heart.
When there is trust, understanding, loyalty, and sharing.
I know our true friendship is a rare feeling, but it could be found
It has profound impact on well-being, strength, and quality.
Our true friendship does not need detailed gifts,
Or fabulous events in order to be valuable or valued.
To ensure long-lasting quality and satisfaction,
Our true friendship only needs a few key factors:
Undying loyalty, understanding, unrivaled trust,
Deep and soulful secrets, and endless sharing.
These key factors we can be,
Mixed with personality and a sense of humor,
Can make a friendship last a lifetime!
This is just a thank you, my friend, for all the wonderful and colorful
special factors that You’ve brought to my life!
You’re such a wonderful true friend!

One talk
One talk
Turned into shouting
We can’t agree
On one thing
I wanted to repair it
But now I know
Theres no point of everything
Because our friendship is now very low
I wanted to know if our friendship really mattered
Then I saw you all walk into different direction
Then I saw our friendship
Suddenly shatter into zillions
All I wanted to do is to repair it
But now i know
None of you really want it
I guess our friendship
Can’t really last forever
There’s no such thing as
‘It really matters’
– Liz Gellur
——————-
If the heart is true
If the heart is true
a friendship will last
If it’s built on mistrust
it ‘ll become a thing of the past
If the heart is honest
a friendship will thrive
the bond will be solid
and never implied
If the heart is open
and truly willing to love
a friendship will flourish
and should be worn like a glove.
– Jock Ridi
——————-
A bond of friendship Is an unwritten
A bond of friendship Is an unwritten And
An undocumented
Contract
That requires
The ingredients of
Trust
Honesty
Loyalty
Love
And Understanding…
For a friendship is
A blessings
And a special gift of God
Bestowed upon us
As a reward for being
God’s children…
– Seema Chowdhury

Tell me, lovely, loving pair!
Tell me, lovely, loving pair!
Why so kind, and so severe?
Why so careless of our care,
Only to yourselves so dear?
By this cunning change of hearts,
You the power of love control;
While the boy’s eluded darts
Can arrive at neither soul.
For in vain to either breast
Still beguiled love does come,
Where he finds a foreign guest,
Neither of your hearts at home.
Debtors thus with like design,
When they never mean to pay,
That they may the law decline,
To some friend make all away.
Not the silver doves that fly,
Yoked in Cytherea’s car;
Not the wings that lift so high,
And convey her son so far;
Are so lovely, sweet, and fair,
Or do more ennoble love;
Are so choicely matched a pair,
Or with more consent do move.
– Edmund Waller

This ring
This ring;
two circles intertwined;
a symbol
of our everlasting friendship
Joy…
At the jokes we share; no one else can understand.
Cheering messages, as we know
when one of us feels low…
Love…
Those special silent moments; no need for spoken words.
Hug that soothes and heals,
knowing how the other feels…
– Jane blaxter
