FRIENDSHIP
We question, what makes a friend? I guess it's more likely that you understood each other and that you have something in common to show on.

A Friend
For of a hundred times we thought
Our minds can't really seek
Or there are thoughts within our hearts
We cannot express or speak
But thankful that of life's great gifts
A God who gave us grace
For there are times we cannot see
Whatever's next at pace
Now let me say how thankful I
Who found you in this world
A lot of precious times were there
Could have not been just heard
For I do treasure at this point
That what I said's been true
I've always said the best I could
A friend, there's none like you

A Friend Like You
I love to hear you say like this
That I'm a friend whom you will miss
For there were times we could not see
One part of you and part of me
Sometimes it's bad to know out there
A time we need to meet out where
Just like in tales and stories heard
A tragedy of a dragon's word
I do not mind or will you see
What's been a friend of you and me?
To think it twice needs only once
That I'm your friend not of a chance
I thank you much and thank you more
You're such a friend I'll treasure for.

A Christian Friend
A Christian friend is different
That had known Christ they're both
Some questions raised and being bent
Quite hard for me to quote
The Christain friend is rare
In knowing each one finds
Deeper meanings like the air
When blows then know our minds
The Christian friend is blessing
In whom God sent to be
Strengthens us in sacrificing
Trials we don't see
The Christian friend is peace
Who helps in time of need
The other friend who's not on ease
To comfort she can lead
The Christian friend is love
Who helps us see his heart
Believing God the Father above
Is real not just art
And Christian friend is grace
To whom she would be guide
That one must seek to see God's face
A friend, I can abide.

I pray
I pray for safety where you go
And all the places here and through
Safe and sound your steps will be
And hear God's message light and free
The words of God to you retained
To heart and mind and soul remained
The hope that's true and never burned
To him will stay our life returned
Of our dark soul that's lost in time
With evil deeds we thought were fine
And wish we not to go in it
Or life is lost in great defeat
I pray your goodness brings you gain
Of all the loss and life in pain
I pray you'll always go in him
And not forget he's not a dream
I pray you joy than sadness there
That you'll not cry instead would cheer
That even we mourn, we'll leave this world
Who does not know our precious Lord
I pray your strength of life in war
That you seek God as near not far
And put in heart to trust his love
With heart as pure such of a dove
I pray you courage than weakness seen
That of life's game that you may win
That it is God whos courage fair
To you the trust is always there
And as I pray you may pray too
That what our lives may do and show
Is always clean and pure in him
To God the glory, in him remain.

Just friends
I like you, I can't say
We're just friends since yesterday
I'm not worth to speak how much
I liked you in a way such
I like to hold you, but could I?
My hands are tight, I can't ask why
Since I saw you, then I knew you
Only through friendship, we are due
I can't look straight into your eyes
I am afraid, should I say lies?
If I wouldn't tell, are we friends true?
I thought friends tell the truth or no?
Let me stay to be this way
I'm a friend you'll ever be
To fall in you is not restriction
Each of friends have one good reason.

Badar
She cracks me joke and gives a smile
Those days I felt so bad
And takes some few things there a while
Those days I seem so bad
She made me happy tells me so
If I do feel so down
Encouraged me to smile instead
Than having me to frown
She added color to a day
With blue skies there above
That eventhough the color's gray
Is there the friendship's love
Joint friends she's nice to know
In fact she's not too shy
She answers when you ask her too
And there you know her why.

To Help You
You must not avoid me
To show you my concern
Whatever is there the matter
i know it's worth to learn
That in helping you
I would be able to express
The words that hearts don't speak
And true meanings in kindness
and asking her why
Above the rest and others?
That choosing you then
Is there something where it matters?
No it is not how much
But what there kindness tells
The heart of man when soft
That's where happiness dwells
So friend I'll tell you why
Of all these helps in hand
I do not count a single dime
I hope you'll understand.

JOAN
If just I had the chance to say
How much your friendship meant to me
It means a lot, it means much more
Than what you think now in store
Because your friendship helped me say
Each time I know it, makes my day
It brightens up like sunshine's rays
And like the raindrops on my face
And inspiration on my part
A loving gift to one's heart
For me and you and everybody else
A touch from heaven, in us it dwells
For you are sweet than what I've thought
A loving gift I didn't bought
A treasure kept since from the start
Still I say, kept in my heart.

This is Melanie Tam and I made the poem for her...
Melanie
When I looked on the picture that you've sent
I didn't just smell any lovely scent
But what really matters was your sweet sweet smile
That made me think it for a while
It was so sweet I can't forget
A more or less with no regret
A smile that launched the thousand ships
No matter how tough where no one creeps
A face that gives a lasting thought
So freely given and not bought
As we wish for that same good you
Who will not change and will not due
For in each time we take a look
We have a reason why we took
That picture of you a Melanie's art
A God given gift to a man's heart.
