When We Can't Be Together, I really Miss You, My Friend

by Susan Polis Schultz

I have other friends
whom I talk to
but it's not
the same
You have such
a deep understanding
of who I am
I hardly have to
speak any words
and you know just
what I am saying
I really miss you
and I want to be sure
that you know
that no matter where I go
whom I meet
or what I do
I'll never find
as deep a friendship
with anyone as I
have with you

The Art of Friendship by Vicki McClelland Jeter

Friendship is the art of forgetting oneself
totally, all selfish needs and wants, and
getting to know the person and character of
one another

It's learning to accept a person not for what
they are on the outside, but for what they
reveal to you from the inside. It's
strengthening oneself with the qualities
found in a friend and the experiences
shared with each other.

It's learning and growing to care for a
person in such a way that you hurt when
they hurt, and you are able to feel their joy
when it comes to them.

Friendship means being there to give to one another without any thought of taking,
being there to support another when they
are weak, or giving them your smile when
they have lost their own.

Friendship is the blending of two unique
souls to form a complete spirit with a
common bond of love and caring.
The art of friendship, in its most basic form is love that cares.

The Friend I have in You by Paula Finn

I have shared with you
the sadness in my life;
I have shared with you
the joy.
Your listening help me
to hear my own thoughts,
your insight helps me
to understand my problems,
and your patience helps me
to accept my faults

You know when I need
your advice
and you sense when I
simply need you
to be there.

Everything I could ever
want in a friend
I have...
in you.
