Best friends for now and ever, however, whenever and forever

Come Walk With Me

Poet: Julie Hebert, © 2012

Come on and walk with me
For together we will see,
All the things that make us
As special as you and me.

Our friendship is so amazing
I can't believe we're here,
I can only wish that you and I
Will never shed a tear.

Will our friendship live forever?
I certainly hope this so,
As I have never met anyone
who has been a friend so long ago.

Come on and walk with me
So together we can be,
Best friends for now and ever
However, whenever and forever!

Friend Like You

Poet: J. Hebert, © 2012

I've always wondered what it would be like,
To have a friend like you.
To have someone be there when in need,
And want only for me to succeed.

I've always wondered what it would be like,
To count on one person like you.
I know I can always trust you,
As you always follow through.

I've always wondered what it would be like,
To talk to someone like you.
You listen with great anticipation,
So you can give me your point of view.

I've always wondered what it would be like,
To have a best friend like you.
And now I don’t have to wonder,
As you my friend will do!

I've always wondered what it would be like, to have a friend like you

Friend For Life

Poet: Julie Hebert, © 2012

What makes a friend for life?
This question is always been my strife.
I've had a lot of friends, but never did extend,
A gesture to be my friend for life.

Maybe I haven't found the one,
The person who would always be around.
A best friend to me is, the one that always says,
You can always count on me, hands down.

But I think you may be the one,
I've been looking for all along.
You've been around for years, I just never saw clear,
How a friend like you could be lifelong.

It's nothing you did or said,
I just never saw you in that way.
But a great person you are, and we always got along,
Why shouldn't our lifelong friendship start today?

Open House For You

Poet: Gerald Massey

We just shake hands at meeting
With many that come nigh;
We nod the head in greeting
To many that go by, -

But welcome through the gateway
Our few old friends and true;
Then hearts leap up, and straightway
There's open house for you,

Old friends,
There's open house for you!

Our BFF

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

There are acquaintances we smile and greet
And then there are friends with whom we meet
But a best friend is one that we can
Share our dreams and our plan.

A best friend is one of a kind
It is almost like they can read our mind
Our most inner thoughts we share
They listen and always care.

Through the ups and the downs
Our BFF is always around
Count your blessings for these friends
As they are forever and will never bend!

Together

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

A best friend is always kind
And when there is trouble I find
That this friend is always there
They help and show that they care.

You see a BFF is there
Good times, bad times they do share
In our lives forever
A closeness we have together.
