To walk and talk and window shop,
With no one else but you.
Makes me feel like I have found,
My one true friend in you.
This understated, overrated,
The friendship we have found,
Is nothing more than two compadres
Standing in the crowd.
We walk and talk and window shop,
Until exhaustion hits,
It's time to stop and take a break,
And get banana splits!
So here we are, our shopping done,
Now on to Plan B or C.
No matter what we decide to do,
As long as you're with me.
Funny Birthday Poems For Friends
Poet: Bernhart Paul Holst
Give me kind friends, true friends in need,
Who don no idle, winning wiles,
And who will be true friends, indeed.
If storms abound or fortune smiles.
I care not for lavish praises
That oft come from the vacant mind.
Nor the empty, studied phrases
Which leave the heart and soul behind.
True friends will more than press my hand,
And more than cheer in time of bliss,
And more than empty words extend
When multitudes grow cold and hiss.
Trustworthy friends will help and cheer,
Will make the timid spirit brave.
Will light the path, though dark and drear,
Which leads from sorrows to the grave.
Give me true friends and let me be
Throughout this life, from day to day,
As true to them, as they to me —
What pangs of anguish 'twould allay!
Our joys increase as friends increase —
They cause us more to love mankind,
And joy and gladness ne'er will cease,
If we ourselves in friendship bind.

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Let me be a true and trustest friend
Not one who just pretends.
Let me be the one that others can depend
To be there - good times, bad times, to the very end.
Let me have an attitude of caring
And with others, find me sharing
Helping others will help me be
A friend that all can see.
Think less of me and more of we
Strengthens friendships to every degree
A true friend you see,
That is what I hope you think of me.
Thinking of You Poems
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
When I smile many friends are near
But when I have tears true friends are dear.
It is easy to have friends in good times
But few are they in the down times.
When there is lots of work to be done
Friends sometimes are down to one
A true friend is always willing
They are truly a life blessing.
Friends often come and go
But a true friend will always show
It doesn't matter - good or bad
It doesn't matter - happy or sad.
I consider you a true friend
With you, there is no pretend
Through thick and thin
You always bring a positive spin!
True Friendship Poems
Poet: John G. Saxe
I wish that friends were always true,
And motives always pure;
I wish the good were not so few,
I wish the bad were fewer;
I wish that parsons ne'er forgot
To heed their pious teaching;
I wish that practising was not
So different from preaching!
Funny Poems
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
A true friend, oh what a treasure,
One doesn't need to live nearby, at one's leisure.
Through thick and thin, they'll always be there,
No matter the distance, no matter where.
Birthdays celebrated with utmost glee,
Be it in Paris or by the deep blue sea.
Miles apart, yet heart and spirit entwined,
For true friendship knows no spatial confined!
Birthday Poem For Friend
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
I am blessed to have you as a friend,
Supportive and caring, on you, I can depend.
With trust, respect, and an understanding strong,
Our bond is unbreakable, forever long.
Together we have faced life's highs and lows,
You're an example of what true friends do show.
