We don’t always have to be brave. Sometimes we lack valor. We don’t always have to be fearless. Sometimes we get lost in despair. We don’t always have to be trusting. Sometimes we have doubts. We don’t always have to be right. Sometimes we are to blame. We don’t always have to be happy. Sometimes we become disheartened. We don’t always have to be the winner. Sometimes we feel conquered. We don’t always have to be infallible. Sometimes we make mistakes. We don’t always have to be grounded. Sometimes we lose our way. We don’t always have to be strong. Sometimes we are fragile. But we must always try to be kind. xxLynnxx

Lin, it's a lovely and thoughtful thread. Thank you. :-) x

hi blossom, lovely to meet you yesterday nice words hugs for you xxLynnxx

Friendship is like the breeze, You can't hold it, Smell it, Taste it, Or know when it's coming, But you can always feel it, And you'll always know it's there, It may come and then go, But you can know it'll always be back. xxLynnxx

Friendship is a heart thats always open. Lin xx

Kindness speaks the words, Your heart could never speak. Your wings hold me up, And give me strength when I am weak. The warmth of your protection, Brings music to my heart. You open up the doors, You show me where to start. xxLynnxx

A friend is like a flower, a rose to be exact, Or maybe like a brand new gate that never comes unlatched. A friend is like an owl, both beautiful and wise. Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost, whose spirit never dies. A friend is like a heart that goes strong until the end. Where would we be in this world if we didn't have a friend. xxLynnxx

Nothing can describe, the way I feel for you Your love is warm and precious Your heart so pure and true Heavens angels brought me To knock upon your door To give you all my love To keep you wanting more The special bond we share, will guide us on our way To a perfect life were dreams come true What more can I really say We were brought together, never will we part Your my special gift Your my shining star I'll love you unconditionally With all my heart and soul I'll never break your spirit I'll always keep you whole xxLynnxx

Friends we are, forever friends we'll be, Wherever we are, you're right beside me. I hope we stay friends 'til the end of time, And whenever that is, our friendship will still shine. You mean the world to me, I hope the same with you, You're always helping me, whatever it takes you'll do. Now that we're growing older, changing our ways, I know we won't lose our friendship- I hope I never see that day. So to every one of my friends, you mean the world to me, Friends we are, forever friends we'll be. xxLynnxx

Yes, every time you offer Someone a helping hand ... Every time you show a friend You care and understand ... Every time you have A kind and gentle word to give ... You help someone find beauty In this precious life we live. xxLynnxx

hank you for our friendship For it means so much to me, Your kindness and understanding And loving ways you share so free. Thank you for being beside me When I needed someone that cared, And thank you for all your loyalty For the times together we shared. Thank you for our friendship For it's something even money can't buy, Thank you for holding me tightly When there was a need I had to cry. Thank you for always smiling When I couldn't smile at all, And thank you for boosting my ego For the times I felt so small. Your friendship I cherish so deeply So this message to you I send, May God bless and always watch over you And may you always remain my friend... xxLynnxx

the little things The little things are most worthwhile-- A quiet word, a look, a smile, A listening ear that's quick to share Another's thoughts, another's care... Though sometimes they may seem quite small, These little things mean most of all. have a lovely day everyone, be happy xxLynnxx

evening folks goodness page 4, tut tut 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 it's heartache and pain, nor 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, nor 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. I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting, But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces and put them back in place. I can't tell you who you are. I can only love you and be your friend. --Unknown xxLynnxx

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, I would build a mountain, you could call your very own. A place to find serenity, a place just to be alone. If I could, I would take your troubles, and toss them into 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, who's always there. I promise to defend you, should the occasion ever rise, And, I promise to wipe away the tears, which might stream from your weeping eyes. Let me be the trusted Friend, the one that you know best. I will never leave you, on that, you can surely rest. xxlynnxx

morning all, whatever your doing today, i hope its a good one for you special hugs for Lin (((((hugs))))) IF YOU WILL EVER NEED ME If ever you need me, I'll be right here, To chase away the sadness, And wipe away a tear. If ever you need me, I'll be two steps behind, To follow in your footsteps, And hear what's on your mind. If ever you need me, You'll never have to fear, That your presence isn't important, And your love isn't dear. If ever you need me, I'll always be around, To bring back the laughter, Where deep in your heart it's found. You will never have to worry For I will always be here To chase away the sadness And wipe away a tear xxLynnxx

Thanks Lynn, gratefully received and I love your poem. Lin xxx

God sends us many blessings from the heavens up above, He gives us peace and gladness and the dear ones that we love. He cheers us with the shinning sun and He makes the flowers grow He gives us beautiful rainbows and the special faith they show. He gives the gift of friendship while He teaches us to share And He blesses us with special friends so we can show how much we care. Mary xx
