Their thoughtfulness comes,
As a gift from above.
And we feel we're surrounded,
By warm, caring love.
Like upside-down rainbows,
Their smiles bring the sun.
And they fill ho-hum moments,
With laughter and fun.
Friends are like angels,
Without any wings.
Blessing our lives,
With the most precious things.
By -Emily Matthews
as long as we have memories
yesterday remains
as long as we have hope
tomorrow awaits
as long as we have Friendship
each day is never a waste
That is when I realize
These names ... they are a part,
Not of the book they're written in...
But taken from the heart.
For each Name stands for someone...
Who has crossed my path sometime,
And in that meeting they have become...
The reason and the rhyme.
Although it sounds fantastic...
For me to make this claim,
I really am composed...
Of each remembered name.
Although you're not aware...
Of any special link,
Just knowing you, has shaped my life...
More than you could think.
So please don't think my greeting...
As just a mere routine,
Your name was not...
Forgotten in between.
For when I send a greeting...
That is addressed to you,
It is because you're on the list...
Of folks I'm indebted to.
So whether I have known you...
For many days or few,
In some ways you have a part...
In shaping things I do.
I am but a total...
Of many folks I've met,
You are a friend I would prefer...
Never to forget.
Thank you for being my friend!
I just want you to know that
I'll be here whenever you need me
