44 Valentine’s Day Poems To Share With Friends

  1. 1. 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!

    Strength Of A Friendship, Best Friend

  2. 2. Will You Ever?

    • By Kaitlyn M. Yawn
    • Published by Family Friend Poems July 2006 with permission of the Author.

    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.

  4. 3. 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.

    • 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!

  7. 5. You Were There

    • By Emily Robinson
    • Published by Family Friend Poems October 2008 with permission of the Author.

    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.

    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!

    My best friend brings out the best of me, and I just wanted to tell her she is the best and that she will always be in my heart.

    in Best Friend Poems

    Best friends are angels
    That God sent along.
    They always stay beside you
    Whenever things go wrong.

    I'm glad that God blessed me
    With a good friend such as you.
    A person to be there,
    A person to get me through.

    Never turn away from me.
    I can't bear to be apart.
    All the pain and suffering
    Will be too much for my heart.

    You are my best friend,
    The one who brightens my day.
    The one who cheers me up,
    The one who's here to stay.

  10. 8. I Am Always There - You're Never Alone

    • By Ashley Becker
    • Published by Family Friend Poems July 2011 with permission of the Author.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    You're always there when I need a hand,

  16. 14. 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.

  18. 16. Love & Friendship

    • By Carolyn A. Davis
    • Published by Family Friend Poems September 2006 with permission of the Author.

    When love and friendship coincide, this is truly a blessed event.

    in True Friend Poems

    You're the one I most admire
    with great intentions and loving desires.

    Passion and trust and knowing that you care
    brings a lifetime of happiness for us to share.

    Being so gentle, understanding, and kind
    brings comfort, faith, and a joy that shines.

    Tears and laughter are feelings that are rare,
    but a true heart shall never despair.

    Love is unique in its very own way,
    taking risks, and challenges day by day.

    But when a heart is made of gold, there is so much to share,
    like joy, laughter, and a friendship that's there...

    So I give you my heart as a token of love,
    from one friend to another and the heavens above.

    So take my heart and cherish it too,
    'cause there is no us without you!

    May your blessings be many
    and your troubles be few.

    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.

    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.

    I feel the same way about a girl I like now. I just do not know for sure if she really likes me or is just trying to play nice. I really want her to know that I do care for her if she will...

    A chance encounter when you are there for someone may be enough to create a best friend bond.

    in Thank You Friend Poems

    To me, you're like an angel, sent by God above,
    To cleanse my soul of sadness and fill it with love.
    You are my inspiration, and I want to thank you,
    For without you, I don't know what I would do.
    You've changed my life around
    And turned my frown upside down.
    You have shown me the way
    So that I will never stray.
    For this I want to thank you again,
    For staying close by and being a friend.
    And to end this off, I just wanted to say
    That if you need a friend,
    I'll be there till the very end.

    I Want To Thank You Again
