There to Here
You ask me how we got from there to here,
And you tell me you can't remember,
And so I'll answer it for you,
Though perhaps not the way you want me to.
We got from here to there on the back of a unicorn racing through our dreams,
We got from here to there when night's silence thundered between us,
We got from here to there believing a song to be stronger than the worlds pulling us apart.
And we were right.
We stood in good relation to the earth,
We stood in good relation to the gods,
We stood in good relation to all that was beautiful,
You see, we were Alive
We got from there to here when we believed reality to be stronger than love,
We got from there to here when we forgot to look up and believe that gravity held no hold on our souls,
We got from there to here when we left our storybooks for some other distracting play,
And now I do not know my world,
And I cannot find my God,
And beauty dies,
Shut out in the cold.
And I believe we can get from here to there if we just believe,
And I believe we can get from here to there if you'll take my hand,
And I believe we can get from here to there - if only in our dreams,
And when you're dancing across the sky,
Somewhere between the stars and the moon,
Look for me by your side, I'll meet you with hands outstretched,
We'll go - from here to there, there to here, and back again.
Best Friend
We have been friends for so long
We have grown closer with every passing year
I have grown to love you more every day
If it wasn't for you I would be lost right now
Sure we may argue sometimes
But it helps us grow closer
You have been a really true friend to me
I thank God for you everyday
Nine years ago this friendship started
It has truly grown into something wonderful
I wish I could truly thank you for all that you have helped me with
And all the hard times you have helped me get through
But words just are not strong enough
I don't know what I would have done if you weren't here
Thank you so much
I love you dearly
By Your Side
It hurts to know you�re hurting
Because you�re so special in my heart
The pain that you are feeling
Is tearing me apart
But know that love has a way
Of easing all that�s wrong
Together we can make it
If we hold on and just be strong
Know that you�re not alone
In all your adversity
For by your side through and through
Is where I�ll always be
Friends Forever
My friends are so very dear to me,
Through the good and bad they�ve been there,
Laughter or tears we�ve been through it all,
But no matter what they stood by me,
Sharing in my joy, or lending a shoulder to cry on.
Building memories that will last a life time.
The fun times and laughter that we have shared
Are happy memories that will always be there.
When I was sad, they have always cheered me up.
My friends are true friends, not just passing by,
But will be there through out the years.
I can�t think of more perfect friends,
To share my goals and dreams with.
Because my Forever Friends
Are the only ones I will ever need,
I don�t know if they can tell
Just how much they mean to me.
How important their friendship is,
And how much I care,
For they are what true friendship is about.
They�re there when I need them,
And I love them all.
Send My Friend An Angel
Please send my friend an angel.
Send her one of mine;
A loving and caring one,
The best that you can find.
Please send my friend an angel,
And trust her with its care;
Someone or something for her to love,
And to always be there.
Please send my friend an angel,
One to help her fill her days;
With hope, love, and laughter,
And the warmth of sunshine rays.
Please send my friend an angel -
You know she gave me one of mine.
Please send her down an angel;
A true friend's hard to find.
Screen Friends
My husband has finally gone to work
My children have finished their play
they've gone to bed their stories read
Now it's my time of day.
I've had one of those days
you know what I mean
so I sit back and relax
and turn on my screen.
I'll talk to all my friends
who know just what to say
to make my stresses go
and my troubles fade away.
My friends you're always there for me
whenever I feel blue
and though we've never met before
I know our friendships true.
And although we haven't been friends for long
in this short time it seems
we shared so many things already
our hopes, our fears, our dreams.
We come from different walks of life
but we share a common bond
and it's time to say that of all of you
I've grown so very fond.
So thank you friends for being there
whenever I've needed you
I know you're always there for me
and you know I'm there for you.
Arched Across The Sky
Rainbows created my imagination
As it arched across the sky
On one end there sat you
At the other end, there sat I
Imagining I could slide across
Over the rainbow to the end
There would be my pot of gold
The sweet love of my dear friend
The rainbow is a connection
Like a bridge from me to you
It appears joined by sunlight
Then the grey skies turn to blue
Arriving after the rainstorms
It became so evident to me
Thoughts of love follow rainbows
They arched right across the sea
A colourful arching rainbow
It has no gate, it has no door
It reaches from friend to friend
It arches from shore to shore
I smiled up today at the sky
How far would my loving smile go
It slid right over to the other side
The other end of the coloured rainbow
The Greatest Gift
The greatest Gift,
in the end
was a family
and a Friend.
An ear to lend
a hand to hold,
and you,
my Friend -
your heart of gold.
What Is A Friend?
A friend is someone you hold dear:
Someone who is always there, through thick and thin;
Someone who is only a phone call away.
A friend is someone you can always rely on:
Someone who is there to share your thoughts with;
Someone to listen, no matter the subject.
A friend is someone you can feel comfortable with:
Someone you can sit silently beside, without conversation;
Someone you do not need to fill the quiet moments with.
A friend is someone you can trust:
Someone who will guard your deepest secrets;
Someone who will never let you down.
A friend is someone who is not judgmental:
Someone who will gently offer advice and opinions,
Yet, someone who is not overbearing or critical.
A friend is someone who can keep you grounded:
Someone who can help you see through your obstacles;
Someone to shoulder you through life's trials.
A friend is someone who shares unconditionally:
Someone to laugh and to cry with;
Someone to lean on, through both the good and the bad.
A friend is someone you choose wisely,
For a friend is your own mirrored image:
Someone to compliment your own self;
Someone who indicates who you are as a person.
A friend.... is what you are to me.
My Friend
You are my friend,
trusted and true;
And this is for everything
and all that you do.
When the light seems so far
and times are so low,
You reach out your hand
to give me a place to go.
When I find I can't make it
and the mountain's too high,
You give me your wisdom
and help me to try.
You've given me hope
in times of despair.
You do this for me,
because I know you care.
You make me laugh
when there are no smiles,
Even though we're separated
by the miles.
So let me tell you this,
My Friend,
If you ever need me,
I'm here 'til the end.
I give you my love
my hand and my heart,
And from your friendship
I'll never part.
For everything
and all that you do,
I want you to know
I'll do the same for you.
So, when your days are black
and your nights are long,
And it seems like
everything will go wrong -
I'm there by your side
you're never alone.
I'll be there for you
to help lead you home.
So, My Friend,
as you can see;
You're very special,
especially to ME! ! !
Crossroads
There were promises made in childhood,
In the days of their innocence.
They laughed, they played, they cried.
Throughout high school dramas,
Broken hearts, and adolescence,
Their special friendship thrived.
The little girls grew up and
Became wives and mothers.
It happened in an instant.
They gave bridal and baby showers,
Each advising the other.
Still close across the distance.
One day, the inevitable happened,
An event that changed their lives.
It had the power to destroy.
They were both the betrayed and betrayer.
Can their friendship survive?
Or will they live with the void?
Always Friends
I accept you in confidence,
I listen and admire your wisdom.
We are one when we are together,
You and I will always be friends.
When you are angry,
I am there to sooth your aggression.
When you are sad,
I am there to cheer you up.
We understand each others thoughts,
Words with us aren�t needed.
We have a trust that is very rare,
You and I will always be friends.
What we enjoy doing together comes natural,
We accept life and move ahead.
I am your shadow and you mine,
We are inseparable if only in mind.
Flowers
It may not be the same,
But some things never change.
I feel it and I trust it,
I still believe in forever
Because that's what my heart knows.
Memories are the dew drops on our petals
That re-open the buds that have closed.
Flowers wilt as seasons change,
Though they grow a little more with rain.
The sun will shine when in need,
And left behind, a precious seed.
A Friend Like You
You are one of the best friends that I've ever had.
For the past nine years, you've known everything about me,
My secrets, my lies, my faults, my triumphs, my joys and my fears.
You know me inside and out; like the back of your hand.
I've never been as honest with anyone as I have been with you.
When I was weak, you were strong.
When I stumbled, you led the way.
When I was blind, you could see.
When I was silent, you spoke.
When I needed advice, you were there.
When I needed a shoulder to cry on, you were there.
When I needed someone to cheer me up, you were there.
When I needed a friend the most, you were there.
You've always been able to bring a smile to my face and make me laugh.
Through thick and thin, you've always been there for me.
Whenever I'm with you, I have a good time.
It seems like you always understand my feelings and identify with my thoughts.
When I first met you, I thought we'd be friends for life.
But now, something has happened.
I still don't understand it, really.
All I know is that you're slowly slipping away.
And soon, you'll be gone.
And there's nothing I can do about it.
Except hope and pray that
You'll somehow come back.
Please,
Don't leave me here all alone,
In this world full of hatred.
I fear so much, and confront so little.
I need you and your strength,
To be with me always.
Please,
Don't leave me here all alone:
Without a true friend, a real friend, a friend like you.
Build A Box Of Friendship
Into a box of friendship
To insure that it is strong
First a layer of respect
On the bottom does belong.
Then to the sides attach,
In the corners where they meet,
Several anchors full of trust,
Devoid of all deceit.
The height of friendship can be measured
By the sides of four,
So make them all a larger cut,
And the box will hold much more.
Now fill it up with courtesy,
Honor and esteem,
Understanding, sympathy,
And passion for a dream.
Add to that your honesty,
Emotions joy and love,
And since they�re so important,
Place them up above
But leave the box wide open
So all can see inside,
To learn what makes a friendship work
From the box you built with pride.
My Jonathan Seagull
My dear friend....
You came into my life so unexpectedly..
Little did I know what was to lie ahead
For the longest time you were a click of a mouse, words on my screen
Hugs that warmed my days.. and secured my nights
Within the many hours of our private room,
You showed me strength, when I showed you my weaknesses.
You taught me the importance of believing in myself,
When I thought there was nothing to believe in
You taught me so much, in ways I never knew
You stood behind me when I began to fall.
Along side of me when I needed a friend
In front of me when I needed a guide
You showed me my ability to fly...
How to reach places I had only dreamed of
You saw me with your heart and not your eyes
But more importantly you gave me a piece of you
A gift worth far more than money could buy.
You gave me a floor to dance on..
A song in my heart that I finally understand the words to
And a peacefulness in my heart...where you will live forever..
I hope everyone finds a "YOU"
Friends
You fell in love, friends went away,
Knowing you'd have a closer friend one day.
I thought that friend would always be me -
Things have changed, as we can see.
You'll fall in love again one day,
Then once again your friends will go away
Forever Far
You're always in my heart,
Always on my mind,
No matter how deep the water,
You, I always find.
My memories are darkening,
You're getting more unclear,
I've fallen into a tunnel,
But I am not to fear.
Very soon we'll be as one,
Together as we once had been,
Filling our memory boxes,
For another year of being unseen.
Riding Wistful Horses
Sitting here and thinking how
My life much richer is now
For all the ones I've chanced upon
And the tapestry that was spun
There was a time when no one came
No friends to play in childhood game
No one to shelter from the rain
Nor the adolescent pain
Yet in my inner heart I knew
Secrets rare and secrets true
Were wishes horses, all would ride
Other dreamers by my side
Then one day I dropped my guard
I never did something so hard
In my heart I let others in
And found I had a friend
By one's and two's they gathered near
Soothing all my darkest fears
A tapestry we began to weave
And I once more believe
For youth need never fade away
As long as I can dream and play
On wistful horses I will ride
With other dreamers at my side
For Almie
Just by the thought of you
I find myself all sad again.
I've lost you, but also gained.
I know I must be grateful,
but my soul is sad for you.
I'll remember you always
for the good you have done,
for the seed you have sown,
for the faith you have given me
and for the example you set.
Yet, I find myself all sad again,
in my thoughts,
in my joys.
My thoughts are closed,
cause you don't look there anymore.
The season is over and
I know I must be happy
but the loss is too big
and the pain too intense.
I need to tell you my new story,
see your eyes,
experience your smile
and taste the tea we usually drink.
I just so much wish
you could see the harvest of my life
from the seeds you have sown!
Especially now, when it's full in harvest -
I know your soul would have smiled.
But then again, although I'm sad -
I know I'm glad -
cause I know I've saved you.
I'll rest my heart in that . . .
Friend
I know you're still out there
Living life with your kind of flair
Standing with your face to the sun
Picturing your time to come
Many clouds have passed by
Since we stood under the same sky
Taking in the summer sights
Howling at the city lights
I still remember when we were young
Pulling pranks just for fun
Summer vacations were such a blast
The kind of memories that will always last
Growing up the future seemed like such a sure thing
Thought we knew what it would bring
True love, a family, a house in the hills
Work hard, play hard and don't sweat the bills
Never guessed things would change so much
Thought our friends would never loose touch
The stars seemed so clear from our domain
I sure could handle some of those good times again
Even if our dreams still seem far away
Our friendship will be right here to stay
Until we are both gone
The road between us will never be too long
What You Are To Me
I am a rose, you are my thorns,
clutching to me, protecting me.
I am the sun, you are my rays,
helping me to shine and to be all that I can.
I am a lake, you are my water,
filling me with ideas, dreams, and hopes for the future.
I am a tree, you are my leaves,
sharing who and what I am
and becoming an important part of my life.
I am a heart, you are my beat,
beating rhythmically to my happiness,
my fear, my sadness, my excitement
I am me and you are with me,
to share all that I am,
to share life, love, and happiness.
Always.
Angel In Disguise
You're my angel in disguise
You read my soul with your eyes
Your spirit has entered my heart
And it's my hope we never part
For you are so special to me,
Without you, my heart would weep bitterly.
You're my angel in disguise
Your love comforts my cries
At night you guide me through the strife
And it is for that, my dear angel,
I owe you my life.
For My Friend
across the miles
you touched my life,
opened my eyes, and
filled my empty heart-
strangers, yet friends,
our spirits reach out,
always touching, never apart- -
you in the east,
me in the west,
never together,
never apart- -
Net Friend
I type my love for you
On the TV screen
Never will you truly know
Just how much you mean
Some may say it's crazy
But I don't really care
They could never understand
all that we have shared
All the nights you've spent with me
Felt like you were here
Always with a open heart
And an open ear
I never had to wonder
If you truly care
Because when I turn on my TV
You words are always there
Best Friends
One hand in mine, my hand in thine,
We walk through life�s stark shadow,
Two as one and one combine,
To fight the night�s dark battle.
My strength to thee, and thine to mine,
Our fervor never fallow,
Two friends are one by co-design
To face our common morrow.
I pledge my trust, thy trust is mine,
Through life�s deep joy and sorrow,
One for all and all align
And this our common motto.
Best friend of mine, and mine to thine,
No greater love to follow,
Two as one and one define
A friendship to the marrow.
Then
Remember then,
Dreaming of when
Our childhood fears
Would be gone with the years.
Now we look at the past
Wondering why it didn't last.
Days in the hot sun
Always having fun.
Going for a ride
Letting the bike glide.
Biking, sledding,
Swimming, swinging,
Days of old
Never to be sold.
Signs of change
Widely range.
Moving away
No more play.
Friends forever
Talk almost never.
Through the years,
Our lives shift gears.
Laughter, smiles,
Fears, miles,
Distant souls
Drifting goals.
Friendship the art
Connects our hearts.
Now that it is when
We dream of Then.
