Special Friend Poems - "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.

A FRIEND TO ME

Thank God for you – good friend of my
Seldom is our friendship as that of time
How very much I often wish to be
As helpful as you’ve been to me

When I recall from time to time
How you’ve inspired this heart of mine
I find myself inclined to kneel and pray
That the good Lord should guide you all the way

So often at His throne of grace I stand
Your face I see at his right hand
And then instructively I bow to pray
“God bless my dearest friend today”

Someday, I hope with you I’ll stand
Before His throne – at his right hand
And say to you as my journey comes to end
“Praise God, You’ve been to me a dear friend”

My Special Friend

When I have no one to turn to

And I feel kind of low,

When there is no one to talk to

And nowhere pleasing enough to go

I search deep within myself

It is the love inside my heart

That lets me know you are there

Even though we are miles apart

A smile then appears upon my face

Then the sun begins to shine

I hear a voice, so soft and sweet

Saying, 'Everything will be just fine'

It may seem that I am alone

But I am never by myself at all.

Whenever I need you near

All I have to do is call

Your Friendship is really true

On that I can depend

I will always stand beside you

And will always be your friend

Through darkest hours and brighter days

You have always seen me through

You are my one and only

Perhaps I am one for you.

Happy Birthday

Dawn is slowly breaking
Party’s almost ended – friends are on their way home
I’m still at the office trying to round up
I’m sorry for your birthday I couldn’t come

Your present is hanging by your window pane
As well as behind your picture hanging on your wall
I know not how to present my gift to you late
But just know tis the greatest gift of all

The fire that burns between us is fading
And the love we once shared is in despair
I stand out here to do my bid and best
To let precious memoirs fill our polluted air

Through your emotions I can clearly see
That one day the scales from your eye would fall
And knowing that you were once in love with me
Tis my greatest gift of all

And just before I say goodnight and go to sleep
I hear my mobile phone softly ring
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you my love”
Is the song it beautifully sings

And so I say a silent birthday wish
For you my love amid great and small
Long life and great prosperity all day long
Tis from me to you the greatest gift of all

Thank You

While the world disregarded me

As I struggled through life alone

Friends confirmed that I am nothing

And have nothing to call my own

I am neither popular nor well known

And my clothes are barely new

I barely have a three figure steady income

But I always thank God that I have you

In my heart I always rejoice

On my lips there is a song

Thank you for showing me love

To prove these testimonies wrong

Having you is all that matters

Though this little world would never see

Thank you for every thing

Especially for your love towards me

I’m glad to have a roof up above me

And a comfy place to sleep and breath

There is now delicacies on my table

I got sandshoes to put on my feet

I now know what it means to love

And for once a happy family

I want to say thank you

For your love towards me

The World We Have Today

We now have wider freeways

But our perspective is narrow always

We spend more on irrelevancies

But spend less on our enterprises

We buy more than we can chew

And enjoy less that which are not new

We build big and splendid residence

Yet our families are small and condense

We have more conveniences

But less time to achieve its uses

We have more degrees and qualifications

But less understanding to its applications

Our expectations has graciously swollen

But our problems has not for once fallen

We have more medicines than before

But incurable illnesses are twice more

We have multiplied our assets

But have reduced our etiquettes

We’ve talk too much about our self

But seldom listen to ethics of pelf

We have barely loved one another

But swiftly hated friends and strangers

We have learnt how to make a living

But have never made a life worth believing

We have easily added years to life

But life to years we’ve done with strive

We have been all the way to the moon and back,

But to visit a neighbour is what we lack

We have conquered outer space and beyond

But our inner man we worship as a god

We have sanitized the air as a whole

But have succeeded in polluting the soul

We stand bravely tall in quantity

But on our knees we are in quality

Ruled by tall men with short disposition

Rewards with deep profit and shallow correlation

We have higher income and low morals

We learn more theories and less practical

We live in the era of global warming

But what we get is domestic burning

We have the supply of food on the increase

But kwashiorkor is our incurable disease

We spend more to build houses and tombs

But have less regards for broken marriages and homes

My Best Friend

Friends are like precious diamond
Dear and rare, hard to find
Enemies are like gravels or stones
On the sands of time they don’t hide

The advices of friends are easy to heed
For they determine life’s zeal
Enemies’ advice are seldom taken
But sometimes makes perfection look real

Joy envelops the heart when friends meet
And tears of joy when they asunder part
Enemies are never made but are
And negatives proliferates in their heart

The cry of a friend is always heard
Because it’s clear and simple
But that of an enemy
Always lure many people

Friendship is the unsinkable ship
That can sail through the raging sea with ease
Enmity is like an un-captained ship
Sailing, one would know no peace
