I asked the Lord

I prayed for you before we met, Not knowing who you'd be.

I asked the Lord to send a friend. One chosen just for me.

I asked that they'd be Godly, With wisdom of His ways.

A friend to help and guide me in the troubles of these days.

So often in life, we need someone, to listen while we talk.

Someone who will not condemn or judge, but encourage us as we walk.

The narrow road we choose to follow, may sometimes make us stumble.

But to have a friend to catch our fall, teaches us to be humble.

When I asked the Lord to send a friend, though many came and went.

He gave much more than I ever asked, for you are the friend He sent.

A Best Friend

A friend that really cares, all my secrets I can share!

There when I need a hand, they’re to understand!

When I cry, they will be by!

If I am away, they will call me day by day!

If I need them at all, they'll be there to stand tall!

Anything I say will be heard, they will listen word by word!

If I am late, they will open the gate!

As they look in my eyes, the sparkle they realize!

They are the one that cares and the one that’s there!

That's a best Friend!!

Why GOD Gave Us Friends

God made the world with a heart full of love,

He knew that everyone needs Companionship and cheer,

Then He looked down from Heaven above,

And saw that we all need a helping hand,

Someone to gladly take the time to care,

to share with, who'll understand.

He knew that people need someone whose thoughts are always near.

He knew they need someone kind to lend a helping hand.

He knew that we all need someone to share each happy day.

He made special people to see us,

through the glad times and the sad times, too.

A person on whom we can always depend,Someone we can call a friend.

To be a source of courage when troubles come our way.

Someone to be true to us, whether near or far apart.

Someone whose love we'll always hold and treasure in our hearts.

That's Why GOD Gave Us Friends!

so we'll carry a part of his perfect love in all our hearts.

Portrait of a Friend

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts, or fears.

But I can listen to you, and together we will search for answers.

I can't change your past with all its heartache and pain, or the future with its untold stories.

But I can be there now when you need me to care.

I can't keep your feet from stumbling.

I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine; yet I can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, or to judge;

I can only support you, encourage you, and help you when you ask.

I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship, from your values, from me.

I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.

I can't give you boundaries, which I have determined for you,

But I can give you the room to change, room to grow, room to be yourself.

I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,

But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces and put them back in place.

I can't tell you who you are. I can only love you and be your friend.

Friends till the end

When I think of you, I think of all that we've been through.

All the times we argue and fight, I know deep inside that it isn't right.

I, then feel bad and a lot of pain. It feels like I've fallen from the sky like the rain.

I love you with all of my heart but now that you're gone I've fallen apart.

I'm getting better as the days go by. I wish sometimes this was all a big lie.

I pray to you every night. It's like you're my fire, a burning light.

My dear friend, I miss you a lot. I still wonder why you were put in that spot.

I know you're in a place much better than here.

Watching and helping me with all of my fear.

Our friendship, we will have till the end.

Friends till the end is what we will be.

Someday we'll be together, together you and me.

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.

Some Assorted

Make new friends but keep the old.

One is sliver and the other gold!

Dear friends are hard to find, dear friends bring peace of mind.

A best friend is one of a kind.

If you’re a friend, then you care, too.

That’s why your friends are glad you’re you!!!

Rose is a flower that stays for an hour but your friendship has the power that will stay forever.

Forever Friends

You’re my friend and that is true, but the gift was given from me to you.
We went through moments that were good and bad, even moments that were happy and sad.
You supported me when I was in tears; we stuck together when we were in fear,
Its really sad that it had to be this way, but it has reached its very last day.
Miles away can’t keep us apart, 'cause you'll always be in my heart.

What is a friend!

A friend is like a flower, a rose to be exact.
Or maybe like a brand new gate that never comes unlatched.
A friend is like an owl, both beautiful and wise.
Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost, whose spirit never dies.
A friend is like a heart that goes strong until the end.
Where would we be in this world if we didn't have a friend?

Life Still Has A Meaning

If there is a future there is time for mending,
time to see your troubles coming to an ending.
Life is never hopeless however great your sorrow,
if you're looking forward to a new tomorrow.
If there is time for wishing then there is time for hoping,
when through doubt and darkness you are blindly groping.
Though the heart be heavy and hurt you may be feeling,
if there is time for praying there is time for healing.

So if through your window there is a new day breaking,
thank God for the promise, though mind and soul be aching,
If with harvest over there is grain enough for gleaning,
there is a new tomorrow and life still has meaning.


I knelt to pray but not for long, I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work for bills would soon be due.

So I knelt and said a hurried prayer, and jumped up off my knees.
My duty toward god was now done my soul could rest at ease.

All day long I had no time to spread a word of cheer.
No time to speak of God to friends, they'd laugh at me I'd fear.

No time, no time, too much to do, that was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need but at last the time the time to die.
I went before the Lord, I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God held a book; it was the book of life.

God looked into his book and said:
"Your name I cannot find. I once was going to write it down but never found the time"

You're a true friend, that I want you to know,
Our love for each other has helped us to grow.
We've been through some tough times, but we've made it through,
the only one I ever trusted was you.

Heavenly Garden


God has a lovely garden in His mansion up above,
He tends the garden every day with tenderness and love.
The flowers that are in it are the sweetest and the best,
To get into God's garden they have to pass a test.
He goes around them every day treating them with care,
You're really very lucky you have a flower in there.
And when you reach the garden you'll look at it with pride,
Knowing God, He'll probably put you at your loved one's side.

GOD SPEAK TO ME...


The man whispered, "God, speak to me."
And a meadowlark sang. But, the man did not hear.

Then the man yelled "God, speak to me."
Thunder rolled across the sky. But, the man did not listen.

The man looked around and said, "God, let me see you."
And the stars shined brightly. But the man did not notice.

And, the man shouted, "God, show me a miracle."
And, a life was born. But the man did not know.

So, the man cried out in despair, "Touch me God, and let me know you are here."
Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man.
But, the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on.

So remember, don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way that you expect.
Take notice of the blessings around you.
