You are my friend

Standing by,
All the way.
Here to help you through your day.

Holding you up,
When you are weak,
Helping you find what it is you seek.

Catching your tears,
When you cry.
Pulling you through when the tide is high.

Absorbing your voice
When you talk.
Standing by when you learn to walk.

Just being there,
Through thick and thin,
All just to say, you are my friend.

Friendship

Friendship is like the breeze,
You can't hold it,
Smell it,
Taste it,
Or know when it's coming,
But you can always feel it,
And you'll always know it's there,
It may come and then go,
But you can know it'll always be back.

- Terri Fanning -

One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life:
that word is love.

- Sophocles -


Reflections

Gazing into the waters, I saw myself at the edge of a pond
I gazed at my reflection, it gazed at me
I felt an eternal bond
I saw my own image, was a mirage, a creature water bound
It saw a mirage craning over it, a creature bound to the ground

- Shahriar Shahriari

Moving

Why is it, when people move to a new place
That ancient dilemma, one more time they have to face?
Simplify and give away with much grace
Or in their new home find more room, more space.
In our life, go to a new emotional stage
We carry our old sadness, guilt, and rage
Simplifies, throws away garbage, the sage
But others will just carry till old age.

- Shahriar Shahriari














Falsehood


Those who are proud, have false pride
Thos who are loud, must have lied
Those who are fraud, themselves fried
Those light as cloud, easily glide.
..
- Shahriar Shahriari

Yours and yours and yours ( Leo Marks )

The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours.
The love that I have
Of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours.
A sleep I shall have
A rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause.
For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours and yours.

Mutability ( Percy Bysshe Shelley

The flower that smiles today
Tomorrow dies;
All that we wish to stay
Tempts and then flies.
What is this world's delight?
Lightning that mocks the night,
Brief even as bright.
Virtue, how frail it is!
Friendship how rare!
Love, how it sells poor bliss
For proud despair!
But we, though soon they fall,
Survive their joy, and all
Which ours we call.
Whilst skies are blue and bright,
Whilst flowers are gay,
Whilst eyes that change ere night
Make glad the day;
Whilst yet the calm hours creep,
Dream thou and from thy sleep
Then wake to weep.

I Knew

by Brianna Madeline Winters

I knew that someday I'd lose you,
but my love for you is still deep and true.
I knew one day you'd find another,
I'll always miss your sense of humor.
In my heart you're always there,
sometimes I feel running down my cheek, a tear.
That tear is for you,
you know I'll always miss you.
You gave me wings to make me fly,
so we could soar high in the sky.
I lost those wings the day I lost you,
but you know I'll always love you,
and never forget you.

“Even that which is beautiful  
Can sometimes bring pain,
So to love from the heart,  
Is to invite the rain.

But to reach for the rose
You must fear not the thorn,
So to love from the soul
Is to embrace the storm.”

~Helen Steiner Rice~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Endless tears drop down my face
One for each memory I can’t erase
I close my eyes to search for some relief
But all I see is u, and all I feel is grief
Should your memory leave or should it stay
Would it be better if it just washed away
But I know it won’t, I can’t let u go
These things I feel inside are things u’ll never know
So I’ll let them come down, these tears everyday
But I won’t let them wash ur memory away

Friends

A friend is someone we turn to
when our spirits need a lift,

A friend is someone we treasure
for our friendship is a gift.

A friend is someone who fills our lives
with beauty, joy, and grace

And makes the whole world we live in
a better and happier place.

- Jean Kyler McManus -

The Meaning

To love is to share life together
to build special plans just for two
To work side by side
and then smile with pride
As one by one, dreams all come true.

To love is to help and encourage
with smiles and sincere words of praise
To take time to share
to listen and care
In tender, affectionate ways.

To love is to have someone special
one who you can always depend
To be there through the years
sharing laughter and tears
As a partner, a lover, a friend.

To love is to make special memories
of moments you love to recall
Of all the good things
that sharing life brings
Love is the greatest of all.

I've learned the full meaning
of sharing and caring
and having my dreams all come true;
I've learned the full meaning
of being in love
by being and loving with you.
