you were there for me

Words escape me at this moment
that seems like the end yet this is only the beginning.
When friendships are close and dreams are far,
you were there for me.
Tears fill me with memories of both good and bad,
some almost forgotten yet all dear to the heart,
you were there for me.
In times of trouble and in times of gladness
you stood by my side and held me up.
Through your ever-patient ears to your comforting hugs,
you were there for me.
From that first day when I saw you
and knew that you would love me for who i am,
you were there for me.
And until the day when we are old and gray
I will always know that,
you were there for me.

I asked for..

I asked for Strength
And GOD gave me Difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for Wisdom
And GOD gave me Problems to solve.


I asked for Prosperity
And GOD gave me Brain and Brawn to work.

I asked for Courage
And GOD gave me Danger to overcome.

I asked for Love
And GOD gave me Troubled people to help.

I asked for Favors
And GOD gave me Opportunities.

I received nothing I wanted.
I received everything I needed!

God Speak To Me

A man whispered, "God, speak to me."
And a meadowlark sang.
But, the man didn't hear.

Then the man yelled, "God, speak to me."
Thunder rolled across the sky.
But, the man didn't listen.

The man looked around and said, "God, let me see you."
And the stars shined brightly.
But the man didn't notice.

And the man shouted, "God, show me a miracle."
And a life was born.
But the man didn't know.

So the man cried out in despair, "Touch me God, and let me know you are here."
Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man.
But, the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on.

So remember, don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way that you expect.
Take notice of the blessing around you.

The Best of Friends

The best of friends,
can change a frown
into a smile
when you feel down.

The best of friends,
will understand
your little trials
and lend a hand.

The best of friends,
will always share
your secret dreams
because they care.

The best of friends,
worth more than gold
give all the love
a heart can hold.

If I Could

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 that's always there.

Friendship

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 and lifeless, it can neither see nor hear.
And in the time of trouble, its power less to cheer-
it has no ears to listen
nor heart to understand.
It cannot bring you comfort or reach out a helping hand.
So when you ask God for a gift,
be thankful if He sends not diamonds, pearls or riches
but the love of real true friends.

Be Thankful

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know something,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you're grow.

Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you're tired and weary,
because it means you've made a difference.

It's easy to be thankful for good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
and they can become your blessings.

This Is Me

When you walked into my life
You made me feel so right
I believed in all your love
But you started holding on too tight

I don't like pretending for you

Keeping track of the lies is too hard to do

Oh baby let me breath
Love me or set me free
I don't want you to think you know what I should be
I'm just waiting for you to see
This is me, this is me

If you want to stay by my side
You're gonna have to change your mind
I'm not asking for you to be my prince
Why can't you see my beauty inside

Baby if that's just too hard to do
Then I guess I'm sorry
Not for me but for you

Oh baby let me breath
Love me or set me free
I don't want you to think you know what I should be
I'm just waiting for you to see
This is me, this is me

If you could take a minute
Try to believe
I swear
You'd see me shine
Can't you see that
This is me

Oh baby let me breath
Love me or set me free

Oh baby let me breath
Love me or set me free
I don't want you to think you know what I should be
I'm just waiting for you to see
This is me

Oh baby let me breath
Love me or set me free
I don't want you to think you know what I should be
I'm just waiting for you to see
This is me

All I Am

Who do you think you see
when you look at me?
Is it somebody strong?
Somebody you could admire?

And who do you think i am
when i take your hand?
Are you counting on me
to fill your dreams and your desires?

Well, all i am is lonely just like you
All i want to do is have one dream come true
All i am is handing you my heart
and hoping to be part of you

Who do you think you are
standing in the dark?
Are you waiting for me?
Why can't i reach you from here?

And how do i get to you
wont you let me through
Don't you think maybe we
have something special to be shared?

Exceptional

You're beautiful but you don't know
Can't see what's there inside your soul
Always feeling like you're not good enough
You wish you could be someone else
Sometimes you just can't see yourself
But i can see just who you are, who you are

You're exceptional the way you are
Don't need to change for nobody
You're incredible, anyone can see that
When will you believe that,
You are nothing but exceptional

You never think you measure up
Never smart or cool or pretty enough
Always feeling different from all the rest
You feel so out of place, you think you don't fit in
I think you're perfect in the skin you're in
You're just perfect just how you are, just how you are

You're exceptional the way you are
Don't need to change for nobody
You're incredible, anyone can see that
When will you believe that,
You are nothing but exceptional

If you could see the one I see when I see you
You know how lucky you are to be you
I see through into you
And you are..

You're exceptional the way you are
Don't need to change for nobody
You're incredible, anyone can see that
When will you believe that,
You are..
You're exceptional the way you are
Don't need to change for nobody
You're incredible, anyone can see that
When will you believe that,
You are..
You're nothing but exceptional

Simple vs. Real

Anyone can stand by you when you are right, but a friend will stand by you even when you are wrong..

A simple friend identifies himself when he calls.
A real friend doesn't have to.

A simple friend opens a conversation with a full news bulletin on his life.
A real friend says, "What's new with you?"

A simple friend thinks the problems you whine about are recent.
A real friend says, "You've been whining about the same thing for 14 years. Get off your duff and do something about it."

A simple friend has never seen you cry.
A real friend has shoulders soggy from your tears.

A simple friend doesn't know your parents' first names.
A real friend has their phone numbers in his address book.

A simple friend hates it when you call after he has gone to bed.
A real friend asks you why you took so long to call.

A simple friend seeks to talk with you about your problems.
A real friend seeks to help you with your problems.

A simple friend, when visiting, acts like guest.
A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself.

A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument.
A real friend knows that it's not a friendship until after you've had a fight.

A simple friend expects you to always be there for them.
A real friend expects to always be there for you!

Portrait of a Friend

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts, or fears.
But I can listen to you, and together we will search for answers.

I can't change your past with all its heartache and pain, nor the future with its untold stories.
But I can be there now when you need me to care.

I can't keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you, and help you when you ask.

I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship, from your values, from me.
I can only pray for you, talk to you, and wait for you.

I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you,
But I can give you the room to change, room to grow, room to be yourself.

I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting.
But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces and put them back in place.

I can't tell you who you are.
I can only love you and be your friend.

A Friend Is...

A friend is:
A tissue when you can't stop crying,
A shoulder when you feel like dying,
Always listens when you have something to say,
A week when you just need a day,
A crutch when you have a broken heart,
Some glue when everything falls apart,
A sun when the rain just won't stop,
Your mom when you run into a cop,
Phone call when you can't leave your home,
Hand when you feel all alone,
Wing if you want to fly,
Understands without knowing why,
An ear for a secret to tell,
An aspirin when you feel unwell,
A love that never let go.
