							You are a shelter<br>

From life’s frequent storm;<br>

Like a comfortable blanket;<br>

You keep me snug, safe and warm.<br>

<br>

You’re a light in the window<br>

When everything’s dark;<br>

You’re a trip to the circus,<br>

A romp in the park.<br>

<br>

Like a bright, sunny summer,<br>

You are joy without end;<br>

And I’m so very privileged<br>

To call you my friend.<br>



<br><br><br><br>

*****************

<br><br><br><br>



Whether the day is good or bad,<br>

Whether I'm feeling happy or sad,<br>

If I have a need, you’ll comprehend;<br>

You’ll be there to share and be a friend.<br>

<br>

Other people may fill my day,<br>
But never in such an important way;<br>

We support each other ‘round all life’s bends,<br>

It feels so good that we are friends.<br>



<br><br><br><br>

*****************

<br><br><br><br>




It's such a pleasure and a joy<br>

To have a friend like you.<br>

You always care, you're always there,<br>

You say the right things, too!<br>

<br>

You make me smile when I am low<br>

You're just a pure delight.<br>

We talk a lot about everything;<br>

You make my life so bright!<br>

<br>

I hope that I am giving you<br>

Some joy and happiness,<br>

Because you mean so much to me,<br>

More than I can express!<br>
<br><br><br><br>

*****************

<br><br><br><br>




We share so much of our lives<br>

Our joy and also our pain.<br>

Without you as my friend,<br>

I just might go insane!<br>

<br>

You know what I’m talking about;<br>

You’ve been through big things, too.<br>

Yet you cheer me when I’m happy,<br>

You comfort me when I’m blue.<br>

<br>

Your giving does not go unnoticed;<br>

I’d be lost without you, friend.<br>

What we have together<br>

No one else can comprehend.<br>



<br><br><br><br>

*****************

<br><br><br><br>



I always dreamed someone swell would turn up,<br>
Who’d consider my feelings routinely,<br>

Who would share lots of stuff without being gruff,<br>

And if they disagreed would not do it meanly.<br>

<br>

Then you came along and my wishes came true;<br>

You’re a friend who I trust and I treasure.<br>

You always give help and I know that you care;<br>

You’re my friend and it gives me great pleasure.<br>




<br><br><br><br>

*****************

<br><br><br><br>




A smile is cheer from you to me,<br>

the cost is nothing its given for free.<br>

They console the weary and gladden the sad.<br>

And can make someone happy when they are mad.<br>

Unlike blessings in which we pray<br>

its the only thing you keep when you give it away.<br>




<br><br><br><br>

*****************
<br><br><br><br>




You're a friend my companion<br>

When you come for tea<br>

You listen to my problems<br>

And sort them out for me<br>

<br>

With happiness<br>

With smiles<br>

With pain and tears<br>

I know you'll be there throughout the years<br>




<br><br><br><br>

*****************

<br><br><br><br>




It takes a friend<br>

to pick you up when you fall,<br>

It takes a good friends<br>

to pick you up and wipe away the tears<br>

It takes a best friend<br>

to laugh in your face<br>
