THANK YOU GOD FOR FRIENDS........

Thank you GOD for friends.....Today a dear friend dropped by for coffee and we had a very good talk.......I honestly don't know how she gets through the day with all the confusion of her life.......and I am more than happy to listen .......which is about all I can do!

"Success isn't something for a select few......It's for each of us......Success doesn't require reservations, front-row seats, first-class tickets or an exclusive invitation.......It's open to all and your dreams don't need money or magic to come true.......they just need you." Success to each of us looks different.  When I was going through my divorce I wrote a poem that was from my broken heart and sent it out as a Christmas Card to my friends......it started the healing process.......in 1986......I am glad to report "Things happen for a reason.....just believe.".....I have a great life!.

FRIENDS

           Friends......thank you God for friends,......So may times a day, I fold my arms and say, Thank you God for Friends.

When things go wrong and they sometimes do, Perhaps someone you love is taken from you.......You dread the long lonesome hours of night.....That must come before you welcome the light.

When tears push hard and pain shows through......Who else but friends will see you through.....The ones you  know, the ones who care......The ones you know will always be there.

I hurt, I ache with unknown pain......An inner scare that will always remain.....True friends are sent from God above......To heal my pain with their tender love.

OH THANK YOU GOD FOR FRIENDS

The friends like magic just appear.....Some you haven't heard from in many a year......With a card, a call or just be there......Saying," we heard and hey, we care"

We understand your loss and pain......We're not here to accuse or to blame......We're your friends and we're here because......We know the pain of death, no matter the cause.

I bow my head and say a prayer......Oh, thank you God for people who care......Their love reaches out from far and near, Almost like a sigh......When I hurt, they hurt......When I cry , they cry.

OH THANK YOU GOD FOR FRIENDS

I know a new chapter in life begins tomorrow......So away with the hurt, the pain and the sorrow.....Many things await for me to do......The past 30 years I've done so few.

Yes, the children are darling, the dogs are too.......The grandchildren have a way of seeing you through....I say to myself, I'm not dead......I have a long life left, many chapters ahead.

There are places to go and people to meet.....Life's a bowl of cherries so let me eat......I know in my heart as I go along......My family and friends are my real life's song.

OH THANK YOU GOD FOR FRIENDS

I also know nothing is fun alone, life is meant to share.......I know how lucky I really am, with so many people who care....My only hope is that I too can be......The same kind of friend if you need me.

So God, let the rest of my days on earth......Be a reminder of the reason of my birth.....To give of my love to the very end.....May I never miss a chance to be a real friend.

I guess there is one thing that I have learned......Money doesn't buy friends, they are earned........By the time and the love that you give.....True friends are a life time record of how you live.

OH THANK YOU GOD FOR FRIENDS

Now each in his own way reaches out to you.......How could I think my friends were so few......I know in my heart at the Rainbow's end......I won't find a pot of gold......but you my friend!

You can't have too many friends!!
