The Friend Who Just Stands By
When trouble come your soul to try,You love the friend who just "stands by."Perhaps there's nothing he can do--The thing is strictly up to you;For there are troubles all your own,And paths the soul must tread alone;Times when love cannot smooth the road Nor friendship lift the heavy load,But just to know you have a friend Who will "stand by" until the end,Whose sympathy through all endures,Whose warm handclasp is always yours--It helps, some ways, to pull you through,Although there's nothing he can do.And so with fervent heart you cry,"God bless the friend who just 'stand by.'"
...B. Y. Williams - From the book Tea For Two

Just Being Friends
"Friendship happens in that special moment

when someone reaches out to another,

trusts, comforts, believes in another,

and makes a special difference

that no one else can make".

Beauty of Our Friendship
Friendship is a Priceless Gift that cannot be bought or sold,

But its value is far greater than a mountain made of Gold.

For gold is cold and lifeless, it can neither see nor hear

And in the time of trouble it is powerless to cheer--

It has no ears to listen nor heart to understand,

It cannot bring you comfort or reach out a helping hand

So when you ask God for a gift

Be thankful if HE sends not diamonds, pearls or riches

But The Love of Real True Friends.
- Helen Steiner Rice -

Thank you for the laughter, for the good times we share.

Thanks for always listening, for trying to be fair.

Thank you for the comfort, when things are going bad.

I will be thanking heaven for a special friend like you

You wrap a small block of wood 2x2 or 3x3 with fabric.

You then wrap either raffia or a fabric bow, with the following poem attached.
"This is a very special gift That you can never see.

The reason it's so special is... It's just for you from me.

Whenever you are lonely, or ever feeling blue,

You only have to hold this gift, and know I think of you.

You never can unwrap it... please,

leave the ribbon tied.

Just hold the box close to your heart
It's filled with love, inside".

Walk With Me
If you have learned to walk

A little more sure-footedly than I,

Be patient with my stumbling then

And know that only as I do my best and try

May I attain the goal For which we both are striving.
If through experience, your soul Has gained heights which I

As yet in dim-lit vision see,

Hold out your hand and point the way,

Lest from its straightness I should stray,

And walk a mile with me.
From the book, Taking Time For Friends.

If I Could...
If I could catch a rainbow

I would do it just for you

And share with you its beauty

On the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain

You could call your very own

A place to find serenity

A place to be alone.
If I could take your troubles

I would toss them in the sea

But all these things I'm finding

Are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain

Or catch a rainbow fair

But let me be what I know best:

A friend that's always there.

SEA of LIFE

Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
Make all of your friends feel there is something in them that is worthwhile.
Look at the sunny side of everything.
Be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
Give everyone a smile.
Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others.

Be too big for worry and too noble for anger.
Don't let yourself drown in the SEA OF LIFE!

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed the Bay Side .. and now for an early Sway !!
