Right from the start,
We both knew we
Were kindred hearts.
This type of friendship
We both knew,
Is known in life
By so very few.
Through the good and the bad,
The happy and the sad,
Our friendship has 
Continued to grow.
Knowing we are always
There for each other,
Is all we ever
Really need to know,
Through the years our 
Friendship not only survives,
But has grown and
Much enriched our lives!
In each other we
Have complete trust,
For our hearts this not
An option, but a must.
Never has it been a surprise,
On each other we always rely,
We know we will never
Ever say good-bye.
Words defy our
Kind of dedication.
Thankfully... We
Made that connection.
Because we looked
Into each others heart,
We knew we were
"Friends From the Start"

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.

The Beauty of Friendship
By Helen Steiner Rice

Their thoughtfulness comes,
As a gift from above.
And we feel we're surrounded,
By warm, caring love.

Like upside-down rainbows,
Their smiles bring the sun.
And they fill ho-hum moments,
With laughter and fun.

Friends are like angels,
Without any wings.
Blessing our lives,
With the most precious things!
