Friend Birthday Verses

Some of the happiest times of my life
Are times you and I spend together.
For deep in my heart I've considered you special-
One of my dearest friends ever...

Time after time I've enjoyed your nice company,
Warmed by your closeness we share,
And when there were days
That I needed encouragement,
I knew you'd always be there…

Time and again I've been ever so grateful
For having a good friend like you-
A friend for all times,
To confide in, to count on, and treasure
A whole lifetime through.

You're a friend
For all times

______________


I'm really glad I've got friends
To guide and light the way
With ups and downs thank God I've found
Your friendship true each day
I hope I can someday return
The gift you gave to me
I never dreamed I'd have a friend
Like you have come to be

A friend is one who knows us
...but loves us anyway


As long as there is a post and the telephone is not cut off, so long as we have
things to tell and joys and anxieties to share - we will be friends. Always.

Happy Birthday to YOU

(Dave), my friend, now that you're (40)
Don't start to dye your hair
Don't think of having face lifts
And don't change the clothes you wear
Don't modify your language
Don't rebel and cause outrage
Decide to do the decent thing
Just lie about your age

___________


Friendship is for young and old
Precious like a pot of gold;
Friendship is a sunny day,
As fresh and sweet as new mown hay;
Friendship comforts in the night
Like a star that's shining bright;
Friendship is a gently thing,
Soft as a dove that's on the wing;
Friendship is a joy to see
And is the bond twix you and me;
Friendship is there for all to find,
The secret saviour of mankind


(Brian Hope Gent)


__________



When you're lonely
I wish you love.
When you're down
I wish you joy
When you're troubled
I wish you peace
When things are complicated
I wish you simple beauty
When things look empty
I wish you hope.

May there always be work for your hands to do
May your purse always hold a coin or two;
May the sun always shine on your window pane
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;
May the hand of a friend always be near you
Their hearts full of warmth and gladness to cheer you


(Irish Toast

Take a cup of patience
And a big heartful of love
Add a bowl of generosity
To blend with the above;
Put in a dash of laughter
And some understanding too
Sprinkle it with kindness
And memories old and new.
Add some faith before you mix it
Till the dish is rich and sweet
Then enjoy a heaped up portion
With everyone you meet!


(Found in an old cookery book)


__________



I'd give up chocolate today
But as you well know, friend
I'm no quitter!


__________



Friendship is a ship big enough to carry 2 in fair weather, but only 1 in foul
In some cases that's true
Ambrose Bierce who wrote that
Can't have had a friend like you


__________



Faithful friends sustain us
When life's dark shadows fall
Their words of hope encourage
Make us feel ten feet tall.


Faithful friends are near us
When life is full of woe
It's then they take us by the hand
To paths that we should go.


Faithful friends are with us
No matter where we roam
They come with the good Lord's blessing
And lead us safely home.


(Jenny Chaplin)


__________



A friend is someone who is there no matter what
Someone who gives advice, NOT tells you what to do
A friend is a shoulder to lean on, a hand to hold
A friend doesn't have to look or act or dress a certain way
The only thing that matters is what's on the inside.


(Sarah Hinton)

Friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have
trouble remembering how to fly

Angels have wings
Those without are friends

__________



I have a list of folk I know all written in a book
And every year at Christmas time I go and take a look
And that is when I realise that these names are a part
Not of the book they're written in, but of my very heart.


Every year when Christmas comes I realise anew
The biggest gift life can give is knowing folk like you
May the Spirit of Christmas that forever endures
Leave its rich blessings in the hearts of you and yours.


(Anon

But which will bloom most constantly.
