In a world full of hustle and mayhem, I found a gem,
My best friend, an encourager, whose spirit does not condemn.
A supporter through joys and ills, always lending a helping hand,
Dependable as the morning sun rising over golden sand.
With understanding eyes that see through my every fear,
Together we conquer the mountains, paving our own frontier.
Fun to be with, laughter hangs in the air like sweet perfume,
Excitement fills my heart knowing they'll never cease to bloom.
As soon as we met I knew,
That there was something great about you.
I wanted to know more, get right to your core,
And here we are years later, best friends that's true.
A friendship is what I was looking for,
And a friendship is what I found.
Our interests the same, we love the same games,
Finding ourselves on common ground.
Our opposites also agreed,
As we compliment each other with glee.
When you talk I listen, we often have the same opinion,
And we both love it when we agree.
I know we will be forever friends,
Can't imagine a time when our friendship would suspend.
I hope things won't change, as I will never reframe,
From being your friend till the end.
In my unbroken chain of affection,
That is formed of the tried and the true,
One gem of the circle collection
Is the link emblematic of you.
May no act of the future dissever
That circle that binds you to me;
No rust of forgetfulness ever
Destroy my remembrance of thee.
The dew of morning ne'er forgets
To fill the waiting lily's cup;
Nor morning sun to bend its rays,
And pick the jewel up.
The twinkling stars that fleck the dome
When evening drops its sable robe,
Remember well their path to roam
About our little globe.
As constant may I hope to find
The cup of friendship held by thee;
And trust that in the fading years
You'll still remember me.
My best friend has been with me
In times of being sad and happy
Always there to share a smile
Times that have been so worthwhile.
Also times of tears
My best friend, is oh, so dear!
We have seen many changes over the years
Some of cheers and some create fears
But together we will always be
Friends who care like family.
Together we will face life's setbacks
And help each other get back on track.
My best friend offers encouragement
And picks me up thru life's discouragements
And I know if I ever need a helping hand
My best friend helps and understands.
I feel so blessed to have this friend
We will be best friends to the end!
Everyone hears what you say.
Friends listen to what you say.
Best friends listen to what you don't say.
There are friends and then there are best friends
Best friends are those who you can depend
They are the ones that you can call
The ones that you can share all.
They will be honest with you
They even tell you what you might do
But they do it in a way that shows
Caring, respect for all you know.
You can rely on them
They truly are a life gem.
My best friends are truly a treasure
They mean so much it is hard to measure.
A true friend is there for the good days and the difficult ones. Knowing someone cares can make life's challenges easier to face.
Best friends listen, accept our differences, and make room for honest conversations. Their kindness helps us feel valued just as we are.
Shared laughter and ordinary conversations often mean more than we realize. Over time, these moments become part of what makes a friendship special.
We sometimes forget to tell our friends how much they mean to us. A few thoughtful words can remind them that their friendship is a gift.
