Poems of Thanksgiving Gratitude for Friends
Explore heartfelt poems that express gratitude for the friends in our lives.by Emerson
I awoke this morning with
Devout thanksgiving for my friends,
The old and the new.
Shall I not call God, the Beautiful,
Who daily showeth himself
So to me in his gifts?
I chide society, I embrace solitude, and yet
I am not so ungrateful as not to see the wise, the lovely,
And the noble-minded, as from time to time they pass my gate.
Who hears me, who understands me,
Becomes mine a possession for all time.

Friends of mine are true and kind
They are always there when I'm in a bind.

Poems About Faith
Poet: D. W. Holt
How sweet the tones of Friendship,
When borne from heart to heart
Upon life's varying breezes,
Which joy and grief impart!
They calm dark waves of sorrow
Which o'er the bosom roll;
They speak of joy to-morrow.
And flowing tears control.
Still purer those emotions,
When heart with heart can join
In paying their devotions
To Heaven's hallowed shrine;
When faith our vision brightens,
And hope, with anchor sure.
Earth's purest pleasure heightens,
And heavenly joys secure.
When soul with soul aspiring
Above these gloomy shades.
And eyes with joy admiring
That crown which never fades.
What, then, though death should threaten
To make us soon his prey.
With prospects bright for heaven
We'd gladly soar away.
