TUG O’ WAR
By Shel Silverstein
I will not play at tug o’ war.
I’d rather play at hug o’ war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs,
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses,
And everyone grins,
And everyone cuddles,
And everyone wins
Your Kind of Friendship
It takes more than caring
To be a real friend;
The nature of friendship;
Requires a blend
Of warmest compassion
And love deep and true
To reach and to comfort
The way that you do.
Because I can see
That your kind of friendship
Is priceless to me.
Care And Happiness
You came as a ray of light,
Made my life cheerful and bright,
Showering your affection over me
So that my face was full of glee.
Taking away my complete loneliness
And giving me back all the happiness
With a Midas touch of your care
To keep me away from despair.
I’ll never leave you midway,
And tales of our bond people will say.

You listen to my problems
And sort them out for me
With happiness
With smiles
With pain and tears
I know you’ll be there throughout the years

I love the way that we can talk
there’s nothing we can’t share ..
I love how I can be myself

and to know you’re always there.

Awesome Poems about True Friendship

That’s what the next poems are about – about true friendship.
Being There For Me
You’ve been there for me
through the good times and bad
I know I can count on you
to be there when I’m sad
Life without you
just wouldn’t be right
I wouldn’t be able to get through
each day and night
True Friendship
By Sr. William S. Tsoukalas
The feeling of friendship from the start
Is that special feeling in your heart
A feeling from deep down inside
A feeling that no one should hide
A friend is there through good and bad
They make you happy when you’re sad
they brighten up your darkest day
Just by the simple things they say
Now friendship can’t be bought or sold
It may get tarnished, and may get old
You can overcome your greatest fear
Just look around and it is there
Now friendship’s one and only cost
Is to make sure that it’s never lost
A True Friend
by Anonymous
When the roses lose their fragrance,
and the world seems at an end,
When the day has lost its gladness,
what a blessing is a Friend.
One who takes you as she finds you,
caring not who is to blame,
One who knows all your shortcomings,
but who loves you just the same.
Heaven sends a gift each morn,
of a bright new day to spend,
What a joy it is to share it with,
God’s greatest gift…A Friend
Friendship is like a flower, help it grow
Keep it warm, protect it from the snow,
How long will it last, only God will know,
But if it isnэt true, quickly it will go…
Friendship needs attention,
Friendship needs protection,
Friendship needs affection…
Friendship can die fast,
easy come, easy go,
But if its strong it’ll last,
it will never die or flow!

To me, fair friend, you never can be old (Sonnet 104)
ByWilliam Shakespeare
To me, fair friend, you never can be old,
For as you were when first your eye I ey’d,
Such seems your beauty still. Three winters cold,
Have from the forests shook three summers’ pride,
Three beauteous springs to yellow autumn turn’d,
In process of the seasons have I seen,
Three April perfumes in three hot Junes burn’d,
Since first I saw you fresh, which yet are green.
Ah! yet doth beauty like a dial-hand,
Steal from his figure, and no pace perceiv’d;
So your sweet hue, which methinks still doth stand,
Hath motion, and mine eye may be deceiv’d:
For fear of which, hear this thou age unbred:
Ere you were born was beauty’s summer dead.
A Time to Talk
By Robert Frost
When a friend calls to me from the road
And slows his horse to a meaning walk,
I don’t stand still and look around
On all the hills I haven’t hoed,
And shout from where I am, ‘What is it?’
No, not as there is a time to talk.
I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,
Blade-end up and five feet tall,
And plod: I go up to the stone wall
For a friendly visit.
Love and Friendship
By Emily Bronte
Love is like the wild rose-briar,
Friendship like the holly-tree—
The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms
But which will bloom most constantly?
The wild rose-briar is sweet in spring,
Its summer blossoms scent the air;
Yet wait till winter comes again
And who will call the wild-briar fair?
Then scorn the silly rose-wreath now
And deck thee with the holly’s sheen,
That when December blights thy brow
He still may leave thy garland green.
The Heart of a Friend
by Henry W. Longfellow
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?
Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.

A friend
A friend is like a shade tree
Beside a summer way,

A friend is like a flower
That’s worn close to the heart,
A friend is like a treasure
With which one will not part.
Let’s be friends
By Christine Corona
Would you like to be my friend?
That would be so fine!
We’ll run around in your backyard
And then we’ll play in mine.
We’ll walk to school together.
And share our lunches too.
Oh, what a lucky kid I am
To have a friend like you!
I can be a pal
By Kristen Smith
I can be a pal by smiling at you.
I can be a pal when you feel blue.
I can be a pal who is honest and kind.
I can be a pal when you’re in a blind.
I can be a pal by saying please and thank you.
I can be a pal when no one wants to
I can be a pal every single day
I can be your pal, what do you say?

Respect them from beginning to end.
Neglect is something never to do,
Depend on them they’ll see you through.

Helping them out and showing you care.
Inseparable is how we will be,
Preparing for life: just you and me.
A Friend’s Prayer
by Jill Wolfe
May my friendships always be
The most important thing to me;
With special friends I feel I’m blessed,
So let me give my very best.
I want to do much more than share
The hopes and plans of friends who care;
I’ll try all that a friend can do
To make their secret dreams come true.
Let me use my heart to see,
To realize what friends can be,
And make no judgments from afar,
But love my friends the way they are.

Love And Friendship
By Emily Jane Brontë
Love is like the wild rose-briar,
Friendship like the holly-tree —
The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms
But which will bloom most constantly?
The wild-rose briar is sweet in the spring,
Its summer blossoms scent the air;
Yet wait till winter comes again
And who will call the wild-briar fair?
Then scorn the silly rose-wreath now
And deck thee with the holly’s sheen,
That when December blights thy brow
He may still leave thy garland green.
A Friend of Mine
Just thought I’d let you know,
even though we’re apart,
Wherever I go, whatever I do,
you’re always in my heart
There’s not a day that passes by
when I don’t stop and wonder why-
Why was I blessed with a friend like you,
even after what I’ve put you through?
Through all the pain and all the tears,
you’re always there to calm my fears
Thanks for always being around,
to help me up when I am down
So, I want you to know:
no matter what happens,
Or what time may do,
I am always here for you
A friend of mine
you will always be
To you, with love,
from me
A Golden Chain
by Helen Steiner Rice
Friendship is a Golden Chain,
The links are friends so dear,
And like a rare and precious jewel
It’s treasured more each year…
It’s clasped together firmly
With a love that’s deep and true,
And it’s rich with happy memories
and fond recollections, too…
Time can’t destroy its beauty
For, as long as memory lives,
Years can’t erase the pleasure
That the joy of friendship gives…
For friendship is a priceless gift
That can’t be bought or sold,
But to have an understanding friend
Is worth far more than gold…
And the Golden Chain of Friendship
Is a strong and blessed tie
Binding kindred hearts together
As the years go passing by.

Let’s Not Wait
by Ron Atchison
We will meet again my friend,
A hundred years from today
Far away from where we lived
And where we used to play.
We will know each other’s eyes
And wonder where we met
Your laugh will sound familiar
Your heart, I won’t forget.
We will meet, I’m sure of this,
But let’s not wait till then…
Let’s take a walk beneath the stars
And share this world again.
Best Friend, Best Friend
Best Friend, Best Friend
How I love you so
I will be there forever until the end
What I would do for you, you will never know
Best Friend, Best Friend
Don’t go away
I promise it won’t happen again
After what we have said, there is nothing left to say
Best Friend, Best Friend
We have grown apart
It is like hatefulness is the new trend
You may not be in my life, you are always in my heart
Best Friend
By Emily Casbourn
As dark as the night gets
you’re still in my heart
as deep as an ocean goes
you’ll always be apart
my mind slips away to thoughts of my best friend
she makes me forget why i wanted to be upset
she lives so close to my heart
you wouldn’t forget
she talks and listens better than anyone else
she makes you laugh and makes you smile
even if it isn’t forever
you are my best friend
i love you because you’re there for me
for real my trusted friend
Best friends help each other shine…
Best friends help each other shine
And listen to each other whine
Best friends help each other heal
And share all that they feel
Best friends have each other’s back
To keep each other’s lives on track
Best friends, are a pair in a million
In my life, you are the chosen on
