Verses About Friendship To Share With Others

Making friends for the world to see,
let the people know you've got what you need.
With a friend at hand you can see the light.
If your friends are there then everything's alright.
Elton John; Bernie Taupin

A sister is a friend like no other
She is always loving and true
She is different than having a brother
Always there for you no matter what you're going through.
Catherine Pulsifer

I'd like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me.
I'd like to be the help that you've been always glad to be;
I'd like to mean as much to you each minute of the day,
As you have meant, old friend of mine, to me along the way.
Edgar A. Guest

May your right hand always
Be stretched out in friendship
And never in want.
Irish Toast

Though you are in your shining days,
Voices among the crowd
And new friends busy with your praise,
Be not unkind or proud,
But think about old friends the most:
Time's bitter flood will rise,
Your beauty perish and be lost
For all eyes but these eyes.
William Butler Yeats

I am so grateful for my friend
Someone whom I can depend
We share our secrets, hopes and dreams,
Our happiness and silly screams.
Kate Summers

From quiet homes and first beginning,
Out to the undiscovered ends,
There's nothing worth the wear of winning,
But laughter and the love of friends.
Hilaire Belloc

The man that hails you Tom or Jack,
And proves by thumps upon your back
How he esteems your merit,
Is such a friend that one had need
Be very much his friend indeed
To pardon or to bear it.
William Cowper

A friendship can weather most things
And thrive in thin soil -
But it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small,
Silly presents every so often -
Just to save it from drying out completely.
Pam Brown

I had three chairs in my house:
one for solitude,
two for friendship,
three for society.
Henry David Thoreau

Friendship is, of course,
another word for love,
love of varying intensity.
The need for friendship,
for love, and its maintenance,
is never ending.
Ashley Montagu

Faithful Friend
Poet : John Quincy Adams

I want a warm and faithful friend,
To cheer the adverse hour;
Who ne'er to flatter will descend,
Nor bend the knee to power, -
A friend to chide me when I'm wrong
My inmost soul to see;
And that my friendship prove as strong
For him as his for me.

Hast Thou A Friend?
Poet: William Cowper

Hast thou a friend?
Thou has indeed
A rich and large supply,
Treasure to serve your every need,
Well managed, till you die.

To My Friends
by Alfred Tennyson

We have been friends together,
In sunshine and in shade,
God bless thee . . .
With blessing which no word can find.

If I Could Make A Friend
Poet: Unknown

If I could have a friend tonight
I did not have at this day's dawn.
One hand that held my own as tight.
One breast that I could lean upon,
I would not need to calculate
The daily profit, worth of trade.
Tomorrow's gain to estimate.
If I could say, "A friend I made."
