44 Valentine’s Day Poems To Share With Friends

  1. 1. My True Friend


    A true friend is a rare gem, and I'm blessed with one - the inspiration for this poem. If you also have that special friend, I hope this helps you celebrate him/her. You may hum the good old "My Mother" tune as you read. Hope you enjoy it.

    in True Friend Poems

    You always answer when I call
    And help me up if I should fall,
    But you never complain at all,
    My true friend.

    You confront me when I am wrong
    But will never scold me for long,
    Instead, you try to keep me strong,
    My true friend.

    You know the funny things to say
    To make me laugh my fears away.
    Like the sun, you brighten my day,
    My true friend.

    You see in me gifts I deny
    And urge me to give things a try.
    You spread for me my wings to fly,
    My true friend.

    You always perceive what I need
    And offer it before I plead.
    Just like a book, my mind you read,
    My true friend.

    You value little things I do
    But won't brag of what you do too.
    How can I ever repay you,
    My true friend?

    And greatest of all I have found
    When times are tough and I'm down,
    You are the one who sticks around,
    My true friend.

  2. 2. Best Friend

    • By Mizscorpio
    • Published by Family Friend Poems May 2015 with permission of the Author.

    I wrote this poem about my best friends, Jazz and Alexis. I can truly say they are amazing.

    in Best Friend Poems

    You are my best friend; you belong in my heart.
    We go through ups and downs, but still nothing can tear us apart.
    I know you as a sister, and I will always care.
    Love, respect, and trust are the things we share.

    I know you as a person; I especially know you as a friend.
    Our friendship is something that will never end.
    Right now, this second, this minute, this day,
    Our sisterhood is here, is here to stay.

    My friendship with you is special and true.
    When we are together, we stick like glue.
    When I'm in the darkness that needs some light,
    When you're by my side, I know things are all right.

    Our friendship is so strong; it breaks down bars.
    Our friendship is also bright, like the sun and the stars.
    If we were in a competition for friendships, we would get a gold,
    Because responsibility and cleverness are the keys we hold.

    I met you as a stranger, took you as a friend.
    I hope our long friendship will never end.
    Our friendship is like a magnet; it pulls us together,
    Because no matter where we are, our friendship will last forever!

    • By Lisa M. Chapin
    • Published by Family Friend Poems November 2007 with permission of the Author.

    Friends are there to support each other through the rough patches of life.

    in Best Friend Poems

    A friend like you is hard to find,
    one that touches you deep inside.
    You've given me strength to carry on,
    you've offered your hand to hold on.
    When times are tough, I know you're there
    to offer support and show you care.
    If not for you, I would have drowned,
    but you help keep me on solid ground.
    I believe you were sent from the man above
    because he knows the strength of your love.
    You show that love in so many ways.
    It helps me get through my darkest of days.
    So for that, I write this poem for you
    and tell you from my heart, THANK YOU!

    This poem is about the great impact that friends can have on each other's lives.

    in Special Friend Poems

    I don't think you will
    Ever fully understand
    How you've touched my life
    And made me who I am.

    I don't think you could ever know
    Just how truly special you are,
    That even on the darkest nights
    You are my brightest star.

    You've allowed me to experience
    Something very hard to find,
    Unconditional love that exists
    In my body, soul, and mind.

    I don't think you could ever feel
    All the love I have to give,
    And I'm sure you'll never realize
    You've been my will to live.

    You are an amazing person,
    And without you I don't know where I'd be.
    Having you in my life
    Completes and fulfills every part of me.

    A true friend is a blessing in your life. This has been written for my best friend.

    in Thank You Friend Poems

    My life has not been easy.
    Hard times, I've seen my share.
    Through trials and tribulations,
    you were always standing there.

    You lent an ear and gave a hand
    and always seemed to understand.

    At times when I was torn and weak
    and could not bear the stress,
    you always gave your all to me,
    never any less.

    To you I'm always grateful for all that we have shared,
    for standing right beside me, showing that you cared.

    What could be better than a friendship with some romance mixed in?

    in Thank You Friend Poems

    It started out as just a hug and grew into a kiss,
    A friendship that had blossomed to more than I could wish.
    You are my shining star at night; you help me find my way.
    You are my inspiration directing me each day.
    See, when I fall and need a hand, you always pick me up,
    And when I cry and need a friend, you're there no matter what.
    I wish I were just like you: strong-hearted, brave, and sweet.
    I'm glad I have a friend like you to make my life complete.

    • By Ashley Becker

    This poem is about never being alone and always having someone who cares.

    in Best Friend Poems

    When you're feeling down and blue,
    And life is being cruel to you,
    Just remember you're not on your own.
    I'm always there; you're never alone.
    You might not be able to see my face,
    As hard as you look around the place,
    But close your eyes and think of me,
    And before you know it, there will be me.
    Keep me in the midst of your mind,
    And life will seem easier, I think you'll find,
    So when life gets too dark to bear,
    Just close your eyes and I will be there.

    in Inspirational Friend Poems

    May your blessings be many
    and your troubles be few.
    And may you feel God's presence   
    in all you say and do.

    May your family surround you
    and give you reasons to smile.
    May your friends and loved ones
    go with you an extra mile.

    May you know joy and gladness
    and have a life of peace.
    And may your load grow lighter 
    and all your cares decrease.

    May your sleep be ever so sweet
    as you retire each night.
    And when you wake each morning,
    may your burdens feel light.

    May mercy and grace follow you
    every minute of every day.
    And may you feel the love of God
    As you go on your way!

    I was going through a really hard time in my life, and I honestly don't think I would be here if it weren't for my best friend. She was there for me when no one else was.

    in Special Friend Poems

    When tears fell from my eyes,
    you were there to brush them away.
    When I was lost in confusion,
    you were there to say that everything would be okay.
    When I stood before you falling apart,
    you were there to lend your heart.
    When I felt like no one could understand,
    you were there to take my hand.
    When no one else was left to care,
    you were there.

    I wrote this poem to say thank you to my mentor at school. She's helped me through a lot. Family break up, self-harm, anger problems, school troubles, and friend issues. I wanted to thank her for what she's given to me.

    in Thank You Friend Poems

    I don't know how to say this,
    but I thank you very much
    for always being there for me,
    your gentle, friendly touch.
    Thank you.

    You helped me to get better
    and stop what I regret.
    You helped me through the hard times
    that I can't forget.
    Thank you.

    You listened to my problems
    in a kind and caring way,
    and without you,
    I may not be smiling today.
    Thank you.

    I trust you with my secrets
    that no one has been told.
    I trust you with my feelings, and I'll remember your words
    until I'm grey and old.
    Thank you.

    If you want to stay best friends, this is a recipe for success.

    in Best Friend Poems

    We are friends.
    I've got your back,
    And you have mine.
    I'll help you out
    Anytime!
    To see you hurt,
    To see you cry,
    Makes me weep
    And wanna die.
    If you agree
    To never fight,
    It wouldn't matter
    Who's wrong or right.
    If a broken heart
    Needs a mend,
    I'll be right there
    Till the end.
    If your cheeks are wet
    From drops of tears,
    Don't worry,
    Let go of your fears.
    Hand in hand
    Love is sent.
    We'll be friends
    Till the end!

  15. 13. To My Treasured Friend

    • By Alora M. Knight
    • Published by Family Friend Poems February 2015 with permission of the Author.

    When you live to be 93, as I have, you will have seen many things of value, but what I have always treasured most has been my many friends. When you live this long, you have the sadness of losing most of them, but the cherished times together will always remain.

    in Best Friend Poems

    Though there is gold up in the mountains,
    Lovely pearls deep in the sea,
    Those treasures do not mean as much
    As your friendship means to me.
    While diamonds may be beautiful,
    And worth a lot of money,
    They cannot give a warm embrace
    Or share jokes we think are funny.
    I know it's true some people
    Will collect much priceless art,
    Yet I have never seen a picture
    That showed me a loving heart.
    So I don't need to spend a fortune
    To have what means the most to me.
    Knowing that I have had your friendship
    Will be a treasured memory.

    Strong friends share a secret and private world that is all their own.

    in Thank You Friend Poems

    You're always there when I need a hand,
    Pushing me, helping me.
    You're there when I need a shoulder
    To cry on, to lie on.
    You're there when I need to talk,
    At sunrise, at sunset.
    You will never know what you mean to me.
    We will never know how our friendship became so deep.
    They will never know all the secrets that we keep.

    in Best Friend Poems

    I'll be there
    When you feel lonely and frightened,
    When you need help with something,
    When you feel hopeless.

    I'll be there
    When you feel betrayed by someone you trusted,
    When you feel broken-hearted,
    When you are in difficult times.

    I'll be there
    When you fall,
    When you need a hug,
    When you need some love.

    I'll be there.
    No matter what happens,
    I'll be there.

  20. 18. Friendship Is The Best Ship Of All

    • By Valerie M.
    • Published by Family Friend Poems June 2008 with permission of the Author.

    When someone stumbles through life not knowing where to go, their friends are always there for each other. We should never trade friends (and family) for anything.

    Valerie M. is eleven years old. She wrote this poem for a Poems and Quotes project for her class. This poem is dedicated to her best friends: Aliya, Viviene, Chris, and Brandon.

    in Friendship Poems by Teens

    Friendship is priceless
    And can never be forgotten.
    Friendship is timeless
    And never rotten.

    It takes more than hugs and kisses
    To be a real friend.
    The nature of friendship
    Requires a blend.

    The road to a happy life
    May sometimes make us stumble.
    But to have a friend to give us a hand
    Teaches us to be humble.

    Good friends are hard to find,
    Hard to lose,
    And impossible to forget,
    But when they fly away,
    Your anger turns to regret.

    Sometimes in life we need a special person
    To listen while we talk.
    A special person who will not discourage or judge
    But encourage us as we walk.

    Friends are there
    To help you along.
    The journey through friendship
    Is always long.

    In life,
    There are big ships,
    And there are small ships,
    But the best ship of all
    Is friendship.

    Friendship Is The Best Ship Of All

  21. 19. A Friend In Need Is A Friend Indeed

    I've always felt that true friendship is very important. The old saying, "A friend in need is a friend indeed," goes a long way. True friends will always be there for you, and you can always count on them, so my favorite thing to write about is friendship.

    Analysis of Form and Technique

    Friends are far, friends are near.
    Friends will be there to lend an ear.
    They listen, laugh, and care,
    But most of all, they're always there.

    Through thick and thin, up and down,
    Your true friends are always around.
    For treats, hugs, and real big smiles,
    They'll travel to you from several miles.

    They'll always be there to hold you tight.
    Anytime, no matter if it's day or night.
    You really know when your friends are sincere
    When they always show up to lend their ear.

    Do you have confidence that your friendship will last forever?

    in Best Friend Poems

    The friendship we have is so rare to find.
    We hate to see each other in a bind.
    We have made each other laugh so hard we've cried.
    We feel each other's pain if we are hurt inside.
    We always can find the right words to say
    To help us get through any dreadful day.
    We have told our darkest secrets with feeling no shame,
    We will tell each other the truth, even if we are to blame.
    Thinking of you not being here makes me feel so sad.
    We will have to look back on our crazy memories to make us glad.
    The miles between us can't keep us apart,
    Because we will keep each other close at heart.
