When I give to you
What I make with my hands
I share with my heart.
Friendship is a tapestry woven through the years
with threads of joy and laughter, happiness and tears.

A Friend Like You
written by: Mandy
You are my friend and I hope you know that's true.
No matter what happens I will stand by you.
I'll be there for you whenever you need.
To lend you a hand to do a good deed.
So just call on me when you need me my friend.
I will always be there even to the end.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When i felt down and out and needed someone you were there.
When i was at the end of my rope you were the one that gave me a couple more inches to hold on to.
You gave me smiles, laughs and things to believe in once more.
You gave me hope, joy, and love when no one else could.
When i needed the wold to stop for me to catch up you put on the brakes for me.
You have always been there for me and that is what I call true love in a friend.
I want to tell you that you mean the world to me and I love you for being you.
Never change the way you are, for if I had to name one thing that was perfect I'd name it YOU.

For My Best Friend
Anonymous
This is for you, my best friend,
the one person i can tell my soul too
Who can relate to me like no other
Who I can laugh with to no extents,
Who I can cry too when times are tough,
Who can help me with the problems of my life.
Never have you turned your back on me
Or told me I wasnt good enough
Or let me down
I don't think you know what that means to me
You have went through so much pain and you still have time
For me.
And I love you for listening even when inside YOU are dying
And I look up too you because you are strong,
and caring
and beautiful.
Even though you don't think you are.
And I hope you know that I am always here
To listen to you laugh and cry and help
In all the ways that i can
And I will try to be at least half the friend you are
To me.
I hope you know I would not be the person I am today, with out you.
My best friend.

THANKS
Sheila Cheasbro
You're my friend because you're always there,
If there's sadness around or in the air,
At night, in the morning or anytime of day,
You're there to cheer me up and chase the sadness away.
I just want to thank you for all you've done,
You've helped me through a lot, you're really number one.
Thanks for all the good times that we share,
It shows that you're one who really does care.
Thanks for being there when time got rough,
You make it easier when times get too tough
Thanks for being there each and every day,
Thanks for being you in that very special way.

Uncounted Blessings
Jill Wolf
Whenever we gather together,
The words are not easy to find,
But love speaks a common language
When people have ties that bind.
We don't always say what we're feeling
As often as families should;
We don't count our blessings out loud,
But somehow they're understood.
We know that we're thankful for living
With the comfort of each other's care;
We're grateful for memories and stories,
And the jokes that our family shares.
We might leave a promise unspoken,
But we know that we're loyal and true;
We can count on companions through life,
In the sunshine and shadows, too.
We might show some special attention
To a stranger, acquaintance, or guest,
But we never forget in our hearts
About those that we really love best.
These blessings can never be counted
Like money or gold dividends;
They can only be shared as the love
That exists when families are friends.

Perfect Mother
Rosie B. Reyes
I'm not the perfect mother,and this I know is true
I never really took the time to tell you I love you,
I always wanted perfect,the bedrooms and the plates
I never really took the time to stop and appreciate.
I always was too busy,I never really looked,
I expected way too much from you,
even made you read your own books.
I know you saw the mothers who made lemonade and cakes,
who always really took the time to stop and to relate.
You all are young men now i know its much to late.
I wish I was the mother who stopped to make a date.
To make a date to be there,to giggle and to play,
to only worrie what else to do and never hesitate.
I know I hardly said it but this I know is true:
I hope you do believe me when I say that I love You!

Warm Cookies
Jayme Terrigno
I want to think of you-
I want to sit in my car with
the heater on
and scribble words on paper.
I want to close my eyes
and picture you-
look at your face as you
look at mine.
I want the sky to be gray
and my eyes to stay green.
Im wearing a pretty bracelet today
and
it makes me think of you.
I want white daises in my blue vase.
A cup of hot tea
and warm cookies-
I want to share these with you.
