Valentines~Not just for lovers...

[Palleon]

Oh, sweetie, it's not just for poems here, any thoughts for your friends are great.

This is one of my favorite quotes about friends. It makes me think of you.

"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."
- Anais Nin



There's nothing that says friends can't leave kisses for each other.

That was so nice, thank you Joy, you have become such a good friend to me.

 

[MizTabby]

such wonderful thoughts!

True, EJ it's not only about lovers, thanks for this very caring thread
I, too, have some good friends on Lit, time zones keep us apart most times,
but we always cross paths at some point, so here's wishing my dear friends,
the joy of feeling and being loved this Valentine season *hugs*
http://www.gifs.net/animate/bloomingrose.gif and especially forLadybird,
who's been much like my special Sis!

just one of my faves, the other 2 are already posted

When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I'm on your side. When times get rough
And friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

When you're down and out,
When you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part.
When darkness comes
And pains is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.

Not all of us can meet in real life, so this song fits

Lately I'm learnin
That so many yearnings are never to be
The childhood illusions are merely delusions of a girl that I see

In my minds eye
I see clearly a vision of how it could be
Me and my fantasy girl
Hold on to me
Be my fantasy girl
Don't set me free

Now I've had my share
Sometimes I swear that I've had enough
You end up in sorrow
Broken tomorrows, love can be tough

But my minds eyed sees a vision of true love and how it should be
Me and my fantasy girl
Hold on to me
Be my fantasy girl
Don't set me free
Be my fantasy
Yeah yeah yeah
I see clearly a vision of how it could be, yeah
Be my fantasy
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Be my fantasy girl
Hold on to me
Your my fantasy girl
Don't set me free
Be my fantasy girl
Hold on to me
Your my fantasy girl
Don't set me free
Yeah
from this fantasy

Paradise Found

by Blue Dolphin ©


Paradise found
in a dream that dared to tread
with soulful steps on the winsome way
walked by
in a whisper of decibels low

Did I hear it,
turn again
listen loud to the waking of moments
tendrils of the mind that touch
their fingers, wrap my soul
as the mist of fade does gently glow
with the sunrise of a new day

Mz Tabby, so nice to see you here. I'm glad to see people posting their warm and caring thoughts about their friends here. It's good for the heart to feel the love of friendship that's here.

 

[enjoyingitall]

Palleon, that's a good song for here, too.

Thank you for posting it.


It's true that many friends here will never meet face to face, but that doesn't change the intensity of the friendship.

That's beautiful, BD....simply wonderful. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I've read it over a couple of times and it just resonates with a heartfelt touch.

Winsome Wishes

by Blue Dolphin ©


I wish that I could catch the moon
and lay it, at your feet
build pathways borne of stardust,
where we, my love, could meet

I wish that I could take you high
beyond the plane of Mars
to ride the raging solar wind
and kiss the morning star

I wish that I could steal the sun
alight your passions fire
consumed for all eternity
within your sweet desire

I wish I wish, oh how I wish
that love would one day be
and you might soar to paradise,
alone my love, with me

Another lovely poem, BD. You're a sweetheart for sharing them here with us.

A for a good friend.

I need to apologize to you 1st TS, I forgot who you were until Joy just mentioned Cherrie. It has been awhile.

How are you?

 

[enjoyingitall]

We may have to send Cherrie the link to this thread in order for her to see that.

Awww... You guys are so sweet! Thank you so much!

{{{hugs}}} EJ, I consider you a friend too! We really need to get together one of these days again!

And I agree, one needn't meet in *real* life for bonds to grow and develop into the deepest of friendships. I treasure each and every one.

EJ... x 12 for you! You've just made my day! Hell, make that the whole week! Thanks!

YW, hon. And yes, now that I'm off, we should definitely have the time for another coffee date.

I'm glad I could give you a smile.

Count Your Friends

It is not wise to count your friends
on a bright sunny day.
When the sky is blue
and smiles come so easliy.

Instead wait for a storm,
when the clouds are dark
and the day grows cold.
Laughter is not heard
in your heavy heart.

Then when a friend comes
and stands beside you
and lifts your spirits to the sky
and laughter is in your heart,
he or she deserves the name...
"FRIEND"

Thank you, my Friend,
for braving the storms with me
and for making the sunny days
so much brighter.

~ Kathy Stachowicz~

That's a really nice one, Cherrie. Thanks for posting it for us.


I can't think of songs for friends without thinking of the theme song from "Friends":

So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year
But ... I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'cause you're there for me too.
