Friendship Poems

“A friend is someone we turn to

when our spirits need a lift.

A friend is someone we treasure

for our friendship is a gift.

A friend is someone who fills our lives

with beauty, joy, and grace.

And makes the whole world we live in

a better and happier place.”

“Standing by,

All the way.

Here to help you through your day.

Holding you up,

When you are weak,

Helping you find what it is you seek.

Catching your tears,

When you cry.

Pulling you through when the tide is high.

Just being there,

Through thick and thin,

All just to say, you are my friend.”

“There is a thing called Friendship

that dwells within the heart

and you don't know how it happens

or when it even starts.

But the happiness it brings you

always gives a special lift

and you realize that Friendship

is God's most precious gift.”

“There are gifts of many treasures

For both the young and old,

From the tiniest little trinkets

To great boxes filled with gold.

But, put them all together

And they could not stand in lieu,

Of the greatest gift of all

The gift of knowing you.

When your times are filled with troubles

Sadness, grief, or even doubt,

When all those things you planned on

Just aren't turning out.

Just turn and look behind you

From the place at which you stand,

And look for me through the shadows

And reach out for my hand.

I will lift from you your burden

And cry for you your tears,

Bear the pain of all your sorrows

Though it may be for a thousand years.

For in the end I would be happy

To have helped you start anew,

It's a small price to pay

For the gift of knowing you.”

Short Friendship Poems

“I shed a tear today silently,

I felt it fall you caught it,

shared it,

held it

felt it,

then suddenly,

it wasn't that big after all.”

“Friendship is

No fragile human bond.

Friendship is

A strong oneness-bridge.”

“It takes more than caring

To be a real friend;

The nature of friendship;

Requires a blend

Of warmest compassion

And love deep and true

To reach and to comfort

The way that you do.

Because I can see

That your kind of friendship

Is priceless to me.”

“A friend wears a smile

When the world wears a frown.

A friend will lend a hand

To help when you’re down.

A friend knows when to listen

And when to give advice

A friend is there without condition

Any time, day or night.

A friend is what I’ll be,

Just as you’ve been to me.”

“I’ll catch you when you fall

Pick you up when you’re down

Hold your hand when you are lost

Turn your frown around

I’ll wipe away your tears

Share in your joy too

You’ve done these things for me

And I’ll always be here

To do the same for you”

Famous Poems About Friendship

“The pleasures of friendship are exquisite,

How pleasant to go to a friend on a visit!

I go to my friend, we walk on the grass,

And the hours and moments like minutes pass.”

“May our friendship last forever;

May I sail upon your sea.

May we go through life together;

May there always be a "we."

May you breathe my gentle air.

Each time you look for me, I'm there.

May we be for each a smile

Like the warm, life-giving sun;

Yet when we're in pain awhile,

May our suffering be one.

May we share our special days,

The happiness of one for two;

And if we must go separate ways,

Let my love remain with you.”

“Be a friend. You don't need money:

Just a disposition sunny;

Just the wish to help another

Get along some way or other;

Just a kindly hand extended

Out to one who's unbefriended;

Just the will to give or lend,

This will make you someone's friend.

Be a friend. You don't need glory.

Friendship is a simple story.

Cheer the youth who's bravely trying,

Pity him who's sadly sighing;

Just a little labor spend

On the duties of a friend.

Be a friend. The pay is bigger

(Though not written by a figure)

You'll have friends instead of neighbors

For the profits of your labors;

You'll be richer in the end

Than a prince, if you're a friend”

“Everyone needs a special friend

to help them on their way,

To pick them up when they are down,

To guide them when they stray.

To share a chat and cup of tea,

To work out hard decisions,

To lend a hand with household

chores and help them achieve

their ambitions.

A special friend is someone sincere,

Through good times and bad they

will always be near.

And if you have a special friend,

Be sure to treat them kind,

For in today's hard times of strife

they're a rare and valuable find!”

“Friends in the good times;

They will be by your side.

There to walk beside you;

Running stride for stride.

When you’re on top,

They love you the most.

Of your many accomplishments,

They will brag the most.

But when the clouds gather,

And it begins to rain.

You will be left alone,

With no friend to share the pain.

Where did they go,

All those who cared?

Where are they now?

You’re alone and scared.

Jesus once said;

“Like sheep they would scatter”.

When you’re on the bottom,

You no longer matter.

Take a look at yourself;

What kind of friend are you?”

Friendship Poems That Make You Cry

“I have a best friend...

In the sandbox we used to play,

We grew up with each other,

but things ended up this way

I began to meet some new friends,

they all seemed pretty nice,

You told me they were the wrong crew,

But I didn't take your advice

I started smoking and drinking,

sneaking out and skipping school,

I never returned your phone calls

because I was just too cool

I never told you the truth,

I just had to lie,

You told me I needed help

And all I could say was why?

I went to a party that night,

And I got so messed up I couldn't talk,

I tried to cross the street,

but I could barely walk

I heard a loud engine,

and I saw a bright light,

I then felt a great shove,

and I looked to my right

You'd been hit by a Semi,

With all the blood I could see,

You just pushed me out of the way

And that's how it had to be

A tear rolled down my face,

I could tell that you were dead,

I hugged your lifeless body

and wished it was me instead

I've been sober for 3 years,

and I have many more to spend,

I have my guardian angel,

I have a best friend...”

“When you are sad,

I will dry your tears.

When you are scared,

I will comfort your fears.

When you are worried,

I will give you hope.

When you are confused,

I will help you cope.

And when you are lost,

And can't see the light.

I shall be your beacon

Shining ever so bright

This is my oath.

I pledge till the end.

Why you may ask?

Because you're my friend.”

“If I could take a minute

To help you understand

I am a better person

Because you are my friend.

And it really doesn't matter

If we're together or apart

For I swept you up into my hands

And placed you in my heart.

And if at any moment

You ever start to doubt

There's a special bond between us

That I can't live without.

You truly are the answers

To many of my prayers

When I told God I needed

Someone who really cares.

Someone to stand beside me

To help comfort and to cope

To remind me that there's always

Some room for one to hope.

You've helped me through some things

That no one could help me through

I never knew what friendship was

Until I first met you.

And if I had one simple wish

It would surely be

That God would keep you in my life

Throughout all eternity.

And now I hope you realize

Just how much you mean to me

You are the definition

Of what a real, true friend should be.”

“When I was little, maybe six or seven

I asked the Lord up in heaven,

dear Lord where can I get a friend?

one that will stick with me till the end?

In a silence a voice I heard:

“Lift up your head!”

“For I am your friend, and I am here to stay.

As each day continues to fade away!””

“FRIENDSHIP IS A PRICELESS GIFT

THAT CANNOT BE BOUGHT OR SOLD

BUT ITS VALUE IS FAR GREATER

THAN THE MOUNTAIN MADE OF GOLD

FOR GOLD IS COLD & LIFELESS

IT CAN NEITHER SEE NOR HEAR

& IN THE TIME OF TROUBLE

IT IS POWER LESS 2 CHEER--

IT HAS NO EARS 2 LISTEN

NOR HEART 2 UNDERSTAND

IT CANNOT BRING U CONFORT

OR REACH OUT A HELPING HAND

SO WHEN U ASK

GOD FOR A GIFT

BE THANKFUL IF HE SENDS

NOT DIAMONDS, PEARLS OR RICHES

BUT THE LOVE OF REAL TRUE FRIENDS”

Friendship Poems For Kids

“You are my best friend,

My very best friend,

You make me happy,

Everyday,

You share your great snacks,

You share your best toys,

So please don't take

My best friend away.”

“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 build a mountain

You could call your very own,

A place to find serenity,

A place to be alone

If I could take your troubles

I would toss them in 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 have a friend

Whose name is ( )

And we have fun together.

We laugh and play

And sing all day

In any kind of weather.”

“Friends care

Friends share

We need friends

Everywhere!”

“I had a box of crayons,

All shiny, straight and new.

I lent a friend one crayon,

And--oops--it broke in two!

My friend said she was sorry,

But I said "I don't care,

'cause now we both can color

with one crayon--we can share!"”

“Circle round

That has no end

That's how long I want to be your friend!”

“At night when sunshine goes away,

And it's too dark for me to play,

I like to come inside, and look

For new friends in a Bible book.”

“Friends are nice to each other.

Caring, should always help each other.

Loving, never pushing one another around.

Never calling names

Are always there when their friend is in trouble

And is honest to their friend.

Friends are the best!”

Broken Friendship Poems

“One thing to ask,

full of fear.

One thing to say,

I hope you hear.

How can you have feelings for me?

But then not even care.

Am I just a bad memory?

Were you just looking for a soul to tear?

I told you you would be safe with me.

That you shouldn't have to fear.

But you drifted into darkness.

You just refused to hear.

If you don’t reply to this,

We will never speak again.

But it looks like that’s how you want it.”

“Funny how friends say forever,

people never seem to stay together

You told me not to worry, told me not to cry,

you said we were best friends, it was a lie.

I'm here still pretending not to care,

pretending I don't notice your never there.

To have a bond like we did was amazing,

but you picked something else over that, over me, just replacing.

You hurt me so bad you will never know,

and the pain I keep inside I will never show.

You'd probably see it if you just tried,

and know how many nights I have cried.

But don't worry I'll be fine,

I'm not the one who left all my friends behind.”

“I am feeling a whole lot better,

Than I was the other day,

Thank you for your help,

That is what I want to say,

Brought me round to thinking,

That what I did was wrong,

Although we are not talking,

You still helped me get along,

I want you to know I am sorry,

I mean it from my heart,

For every stupid thing I did,

To make us drift apart,

Remember all my good points,

If there are any that you know,

Please forget all the bad ones,

Before you turn away and go,

I know that you have left me,

I cannot promise not to cry,

But I do love you my friend,

I guess this is my last goodbye.”

“I thought we would always be best friends,

Isn't that what we said?

Best friends forever until the end?

We would stick together no matter what happened?

I guess I was wrong,

Cause you broke me down,

You don't wanna be my friend no more,

What did I do?

I thought I could always count on you,

But I guess not,

Cause you left me here all alone,

Now what am I supposed to do without you?

As the days go by life is getting harder,

And I'm thinking about you more and more,

Wishing you were still here.

I need you now more then I ever have before,

But your no where near.

How could this happen?

After all we've been through,

We were always there for each other,

We were so close,

At least I thought we were,

But maybe I was wrong, again.

Did you really want our friendship to end?”

“You say we will always be friends

all the way till the very end

But I'm beginning to feel

that our friendship may never heal

the end is creeping near

sometimes I wonder if it's already here

I try to talk

But all you do is walk

You no longer care for what I have to say

I guess I'm just getting in your way

You have a new group of friends

So this is what I call the end”
