KNOW
YOU'RE NOT ALONE

SO
GLAD WE'RE FRIENDS
My
life is better
For
having met you.
I
see hope
Where
before there was none;
I
find reason to laugh
In
the midst of trouble;
I
feel all is not lost
Because
of your acceptance
Of
me for who I truly am.
You
give to me
What
I've seldom had:
Love
that has no conditions
And
no limits.
You
share yourself with me
And
I am freed
To
share myself with others.
You
have touched my life
In
so many ways
And
I am richer
For
having met you.

FRIENDSHIP
Friends
do for friends
Things
done for no other
Because
of their friendship.
What
one needs
The
other does
Whenever
asked
Without
complaint;
No
help requested
Is
deemed too much
When
done in friendship;
Nothing
needed
Is
withheld
Because
in true friendship
There
is no job description.

MY LIFELINE
In
the dark tunnels
Of
my life,
When
my light
Ceases
to function--
You
are my life-line.
When
circumstances
Come
to overwhelm
And
I find myself
Sinking
beneath the waves--
You
are my life-line.
In
times of trouble
You
become for me
The
life-line to God;
In
times of stress
Your
faith in me
Anchors
me to reality,
And
is the life-line
That
keeps me tied to God
With
a line
That
I cannot cut.

FRIENDSHIP
IS
Friendship
is the rope
That
ties us together
With
knots that set us free.
Friendship
is the chain
That
binds us to each other
With
links that let us be.
Friendship
is the prison
That
locks us all inside
With
a love that sets us free.
Friendship
is the net
That
draws us close together
With
a love that lets us be.
