The Meaning of a Friend Poem

Someone turned to me and asked
"How many friends have you?"
Why 10 or 20 friends I believe
And began to named a few...


A blessed one you are
To have so many friends
But think of what you're saying...
A friend is just not someone
To whom you say "Hello"


A friend is a tender shoulder
On which to softly cry
A well to pour your troubles down
And raise your spirits high


A friend is a hand to pull you up
From darkness and despair...
When all your other "so called" friends
Have helped to put you there


A true friend is an ally
Who can't be moved or bought
A voice to keep your name alive
When others have forgot


But most of all a friend has a true heart
For from the hearts of friends
There comes the greatest love of all!


So think about all this
For every word is true
And once again answer please...
How many friends have you?


After much thought I answered
I really only have just one
"It's You!"


A Friend Is Always Special
Because Friends Love You
Just Because You're You!

GOD AND HIS CREATION - ITS INTERESTING TO KNOW

On the first day God created the dog. God said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. I will give you a life span of twenty years." The dog said, "That's too long to be barking. Give me ten years and I'll give you back the other ten."
So God agreed.

On the second day God created the monkey. God said, "Entertain people, do monkey tricks and make them laugh. I'll give you a twenty-year life span." The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for twenty years? I don't think so. Dog gave you back ten, so that's what I'll do too, okay?"
And God agreed.

On the third day God created the cow. "You must go to the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves, and give milk to support the farmer. I will give you a life span of sixty years."
The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. Let me have twenty and I'll give back the other forty."
And God agreed again.

On the fourth day God created man. God said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. I'll give you twenty years."
Man said, "What? Only twenty years? Tell you what, I'll take my twenty, and the forty the cow gave back, and the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back, that makes eighty, okay?"

Okay," said God, "You've got a deal."

So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play, and enjoy ourselves; the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family; the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren; and the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.

Life has now been explained to you.

friendship

Friendship grows out of chance.....
Meeting a mere glance & then smile....
& touches the heart in more ways than one !
Isn't it great how we have grown...
From being perfect strangers
to who we're today !

I am so fortunate to have found
a wonderful friend like you!!!

friendship

A true friend... gives you a push,
when you need it..
lifts you up, when you feel low..
guides you the right way
and never lets you down!
that true friend for me is.... YOU!

WHY DO WE NEED FRIENDS
We need friends for many reasons,
All throughout the four seasons.

We need friends to comfort us
When we are sad,
And to have fun with us when we are glad.

We need friends to give us good advice.
We need someone we can count
On to treat us nice.

We need friends to remember us
Once we have passed
Sharing memories that will always last.

Difficulties Do not Come to Destroy You…But to Help You Realise Your Hidden Potential & Power. Let Difficulties Know that You are DIFFICULT 2 Defeat …

As far as u think ‘NOT NOW’,
Succes becomes ‘NEVER’…
But as soon as u think ‘WHY NOT NOW’,
Success surely will become ‘YOURS’ …!
Good Morning..!
Good Day.!
If u wait for a happy moment to smile,
u will wait forever…
But if u smile N start believing that u r happy,

It simply depends on how u take your life.

Life is a collection of changes.
So, don't avoid changes.
Take/face every change as a challenge.
Some’ll give success and some 'll b the stepping stone to success.
Have a nice day!

- Smiling is infectious,
- you catch it like the flu.
- when someone smiled at me today,
- I started smiling too.
- I passed around the corner,
- and someone saw my grin.
- when he smiled I realized.
- I'd passed it on to him!
- I thought about that smile,
- then I realized it's worth.
- a single smile just like mine,
- could travel round the Earth

Girls misuse it! models sell it! photograhers cage it!doctors advice it!death freezes it! artists create it! tats SMILE! KEEP SMILING!!

Silence & smile are two powerful tools.
Smile is the way to solve many problems.
&
Silence is the way to avoid many problems.

Don't say you're not important,
It simply isn't true,

The fact that you were born,
Is proof, God has a plan for you.

The path may seem unclear right now,
But one day you will see,
That all that came before,
Was truly meant to be,
God wrote the book that is Life,
That's all you need to know.

Each day that you are living,
Was written long ago.

God only writes best sellers,
So be proud of who you are,
Your character is important,
In this book, you are the 'Star'

GODISNOWHERE
This can be read as GOD IS NO WHERE
Or as GOD IS NOW HERE
Everything depends on how do u see anything.
So think positive

Every sunset give us one day less to live,
But every sunrise give us one day more to hope!
So, hope for the best.
What we have done for ourselves dies with us,
But what we have done for others remains forever.
We make a living by what we got,
But we make a life by what we give.

Success is never permanent and
Failure is never final.
So always do not stop effort
Until your victory makes a history.
Good Luck!

If victory is certain then even a coward can fight,
But the real brave is the one who still dares to fight when his defeat is certain.

Success lies not in the result but in the effort....
"Being " the Best is not at all important,
"Doing" the Best is all that matters....

Laugh when you can, apologize when you should, and let go of what you can't change.
Play hard, forgive quickly, take chances, give everything and have NO regrets...
Life is too short to be anything but happy .....

Ups and Downs are part of this life
Positives and negatives are traits of this life
Black and white are shades of this life
Good and bad are aspects of this life

People strive for a beautiful life
People can do anything for a comfortable life
People yearn for a richly life
People dream of a happy life

Smiles bring smiles in life
Gloom brings darkness in life
Cheers bring happiness in life
Despair bring sadness in life

A simple celebration is this life
A simple jubilation is this life
A grand fiesta is this life
A grand creation is this life

To just get going is want of this life
To keep moving is the aim of this life

It's so true that Love is Life
It's so true that Work is Life
It's so true that Hope is Life
And it's also true that Success is Life

I thank Her for giving me an option in life
I thank Her for my present challenging life
