This poem was a Christmas gift for one of my students. He's going through some rather difficult times and I wanted to let him know that he would never have to go through them alone.

Life can seem completely hopeless... and maybe it is. But our friendships are what keep us hanging on…

Years ago, I had been given a friendship bracelet by a good friend of mine, and I still wear it to this day. One day I wrote this simple little poem about what it means to me. I've also found that this is a good poem to give to a friend, along with a handmade bracelet, to tell them how much they mean to you.

I wrote this for a very special friend. My tower of strength through thick and thin. Always there, guiding the way with the bright light of his very being.

This poem was thought of and written through inspiration given to me by a very dear and close friend that I met online. Our time together is fun yet insightful and our friendship that has grown gives me something to look forward to everyday.

Everyone is amazing. No matter who they are, you just need to find their amazing quality. This is a poem for every friend I know and the people in life I'm going to meet.

Almost each day is shared with a friend. Many of us take friendship for granted, but there are days when we see the importance of a friend. Those are the days we close our eyes and thank the Lord for what he gives.

Sometimes in life you find a special friend who seems to complete a part of you that was missing. This was my reflection on the impact that one of those special people had on my life.

Friendships all start from somewhere, mainly when the heart gets planted a seed of friendship. This poem is about how to create friendship and to keep it growing in harmony

Whatever journey we take, it's with friendship and never-forget friends along life's highways.
