Friendship ( Archived) (12)

Friendship is a precious bond,
so fragile, yet so strong.
It's nurtured by our deeds, and thoughts,
and soothes when things go wrong.

Friendship is companionship:
the joy of sharing fun,
of bridge games, golf, and notes we send,
that keep us on the run!

Friendship, also, shares the times
when sorrows come our way.
To have dear friends, who really care,
makes "gray days" much less gray!

Friendship never can be owned,
or chained, or bought, or sold.
It's a special freely-given gift
to treasure, and to hold.

Friendship is a lovely gift:
a special gift from God
to bring us happy memories
as life's long path, we trod.

I May Not Be
by Bobby7

I may not be the smartest man that ever walked this Earth.
But, I examine all the facts, to determine what they're worth.

I may not the kind of man that would stand out in the crowd,
But, I'll always stand behind my friends, and, of that, I'm very proud.

I may not be the kind of man to pass each and every test,
But I am the kind of man who will always give his best.

I may not the kind of man you'd want for company,
I'm a rough around the edges, and that's the way I'll always be.

So, if you stop to chat with me; and if I seem uncouth.
Just fire away your questions, and you'll always hear the truth.

I may not be the kind of man you'd like to call your friend,
But, I'm there each time I'm called upon, and I'll be there 'til the end

And if you think I'm not the man that you think I should be,
Well, when I look into a mirror, a nice man's looking back at me.

I may not be a lot of things that you would have me be...
Diversity's the "Spice of Life"...

That's why You're You...and I am me.
