A Friend
- By Jodi L. Landes- Reimer
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2019 with permission of the Author.
Throughout my life, people have come and gone. Some have stayed for years and became great friends while others have quietly exited. I wrote this poem because there is always one person who stands out in your crowd of friends and becomes a little extra special. I dedicate this poem to them. In our lives, sometimes people don't get enough words of encouragement, and this poem is my way of giving back.

A Friend Who Has Always Been There For You

in Best Friend Poems

A friend is someone who will always be there.
A friend is someone who will always care
When you're feeling happy or sad,
Sometimes even when you're mad.

A friend is someone who will always be there.
A friend is someone who will always care
When you're feeling happy or sad,
Sometimes even when you're mad.
A friend will lend a shoulder or loan their ear,
Because to a friend, you are very dear.
A friend will be there in all your days.
A friend is someone who doesn't stray.
In laughs and tears,
A friend shares in your life throughout the years.
When things don't seem like they're going right,
A friend will be there to reassure in the darkest night.
When you feel like you're falling apart,
A friend will come to you and help heal your heart.
A friend is someone who will lend a hand
While you lie in confusion or just don't understand.
A friend shows you the way right from the start.
A friend is someone from whom you never want to part.
So, thank you for all that you do.
It's a blessing to have a friend like you.

A Friend Is...
- By Chloe G. Railsback
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2019 with permission of the Author.
I'm a regular girl with a regular life and regular friends. Without my friends, I wouldn't be the person I am. I'm not going to say their names, but if you're reading this, you know who you are. I've read this list over and over, and not one of the conditions doesn't apply to my BFFs. They're supportive, encouraging, funny, and kind. Nothing beats having friends - true friends - and hopefully this poem will help you realize what a friend is.

The Characteristics Of A Friend

in Special Friend Poems

A friend is a person
who has always has your back,
a person
who has faith in you and says that you can.

A friend is a person
who has always has your back,
a person
who has faith in you and says that you can.

A friend is a person
who points you onward, instead of leading you askew,
a person
who gives you hope to see the journey through.

A friend is a person
who helps you up when you've fallen,
a person
who cheers you up when you're sullen.

A friend is a person
who even though all have passed,
still cheers you on,
even if you're in last.

A friend is a person
who remembers what you knew,
a person
who stands by you and forgets every feud.

Pricelessness Of A True Friend

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 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.

A Philia Love
- By Joann Foley
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2017 with permission of the Author.
Philia love is a love between close friends. It is a generous and affectionate love. Philia means brotherly or platonic love in Ancient Greek.

Brotherly Love

in Best Friend Poems

You have a gentle heart and a caring soul.
You use affectionate words in order to extol.
You are a true treasure encased in my heart,
A bond so strong, it will never depart.

You have a gentle heart and a caring soul.
You use affectionate words in order to extol.
You are a true treasure encased in my heart,
A bond so strong, it will never depart.

You easily bring out a piece of me
That proves so difficult for others to see.
You lift my spirits and fade my tears.
You give me a friendship that withstands and perseveres.

We are individuals who don’t want to do it alone,
So we use laughter and kindness as our cornerstone.
We support one another to grow separately,
While nurturing our friendship ever so tenderly.

I could not have imagined what you would mean to me
When our friendship was new,
But now I can honestly say I’d be completely
Lost without you.

I invite you to search my heart so you can find
A philia love for you that is pure and divine.
A gift to my heart you will always be.
My companionship is forever yours; that I guarantee.

Poem Thanking A Special Friend For Bringing Hope

in Special Friend Poems

When everyone left me,
You entered in.

When everyone lost me,

When everyone left me,
You entered in.

When everyone lost me,
You kept on me.

When I want to cry.
You make me happy
When you don't even try.

You love the Lord.

And I can't hardly believe

You're a very special person.
I'm glad that you're my friend,
For when I need a little advice,
You always have some to lend.

You help me when I am troubled,
Feeling down and out-
I never have to say what's wrong.
You seem to know what I'm all about.

I can always tell you my feelings
Without having you put me down.
You're the person I can turn to
When no one else is around.

I can cry on your shoulder
When things are going wrong.
You give me a smile
And help me to be strong.

You seem to understand me.
After all that we've gone through,
I only have one thing to say...
Thanks for being YOU!

Strength Of A Friendship

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.

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!

Poem About What True Friendship Means

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.

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.

And life is being cruel to you,
Just remember you're not on your own.

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'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.

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