Appreciate You
It's the little things you do
That brings pleasures day by day,
Your friendly smiles, your handclasp
In that "glad-to-know-you" way,
It's the way you understand
And know just what to do . . .
Who wouldn't love and treasure
A perfect friend like YOU!
A Connection
How special you are to me, my friend,
You've always been there for me.
I want to return the favor, my friend,
So this friendship will always be.
Let me tell you all that I love,
About having you as a friend.
For one, you are kind, considerate, and fun,
Which you never have to defend.
We like the same activities,
And we have the same taste in many things.
But our favorite thing in the world to do
Is sit around and chat about what tomorrow may bring.
But most importantly the reason my friend,
That I like to call you my best.
Is because I feel a connection with you,
And this makes me feel very blessed.
Over The Years
Over the years, we've shared special times,
Countless birthdays, laughter, and rhymes.
The years have rolled on, oh how they fly,
But our bond remains strong, you and I.
Through every milestone, we're side by side,
Our friendship grows deeper with each stride.
Excitement fills my heart to no end,
For you, my true friend, is a gift to defend.
For All Our Days
In today's world, it is hard to find
A friend like you who is so kind
No matter what I ask
You're there up to the task.
You never look for attention
You're the one who always mentions
Others in need
And you do a good deed.
When I see your smilin' face
I know your heart is in the right place
You also encourage with your words
And people know that you have heard.
I hope we are friends for all our days
You, my friend, are special in every way!

Beloved Friend
Try to guess what radiance now
Is resting on that gentle brow,
Lovelier than shone upon it here;
What heavenly work thou hast begun,
What new immortal friendships won,
That makes the life unseen so dear.
I do not think that any change
Could ever thy sweet soul estrange
From the familiar human ties;
Thou art the same, though inmost heaven
Its wisdom to thy thought has given,
Its beauty kindled in thine eyes.
The same to us, as warm, as true,
Whatever beautiful or new
With thy unhindered growth may blend:
Here, as life broadens, love expands;
How must it bloom in those free lands
Where thou dost walk, beloved friend!
The Name Of Friend
One there is, above all others,
Well deserves the name of Friend;
His is love beyond a brother's,
Costly, free, and knows no end:
They who once his kindness prove
Find it everlasting love.
I Aspire
Thy cheerful, gentle ways, I do admire:
Thy future, to be happy, I greatly desire;
Thy trusting confidence, may I require;
Thy firm friend to be, will I aspire.
