I'm really glad I've got friends
To guide and light the way
With ups and downs thank God I've found
Your friendship true each day

I hope I can someday return
The gift you gave to me
I never dreamed I'd have a friend
Like you have come to be

**

I want to be happy
But I can't be happy
Till I make you happy too

(popular song)

**

Friendship is a ship big enough to carry two in fair weather,
but only one in foul
In some cases that's true
Ambrose Bierce who wrote that
Can't have had a friend like you

**

A friend should be radical
He should love you when you're unlovable
Hug you when you're unhuggable
And bear you when you're unbearable.

A friend should be fanatical
He should cheer when the whole world boos
Dance when you get good news
And cry when you cry too.

But most of all, a friend should be mathematical
He should multiply the joy, divide the sorrow
Subtract the past and add to tomorrow
Calculate the need deep in your heart
And always be bigger than the sum of all their parts
.

(Anon)

**

Faithful friends sustain us
When life's dark shadows fall
Their words of hope encourage
Make us feel ten feet tall.

Faithful friends are near us
When life is full of woe
It's then they take us by the hand
To paths that we should go.

Faithful friends are with us
No matter where we roam
They come with the good Lord's blessing
And lead us safely home.

(Jenny Chaplin)
