Our lives are filled with simple joys
    And blessings without end
        And one of the greatest joys in life
            Is to have a friend

The Circle...........

 A ball is a circle,
 No beginning, no end.
 It keeps us together
 Like our Circle of Friends
 But the treasure inside
 for you to see
 is the treasure of friendship
 You've granted to me.

     THE FRIEND WHO STANDS BY

When troubles come your soul to try
You love the friend who just stands by.
Perhaps there's nothing he or she can do
The thing is strictly up to you.
For there are troubles all your own
And paths the soul must tread alone
Times when love can't smooth the road
Nor friendship lift the heavy load.
But just to feel you have a friend
Who will stand by until the end.
Whose sympathy through all endures
Whose warm handclasp is always yours.
It helps somehow to pull you through
Although there's nothing he or she can do.
And so with fervent heart we cry...
God Bless the friend who just stands by
    --Robin Marie Sandersin

     FRIENDSHIP

Oh, the comfort -- the inexpressible comfort 
of feeling safe with a person,
Having neither to weigh thoughts,
Nor measure words -- but pouring them
All right out -- just as they are --
Chaff and grain together --
Certain that a faithful hand will
Take and sift them --
Keep what is worth keeping --
And with the breath of kindness
Blow the rest away.
 by Dinah Maria Mulock Craik

        REWARD OF SERVICE

The sweetest lives are those to duty wed,
Whose deeds both great and small
Are close-knot strands of an unbroken thread,
Where love ennobles all.
The world may sound no trumpets, ring no bells,
The Book of Life the slurring record tells.

Thy love shall chant its own beatitudes,
After its own like working.  A child's kiss
Set on thy singing lips shall make thee glad;
A poor man served by thee shall make thee rich;
A sick man helped by thee shall make thee strong;
Thou shalt be served thyself by every sense
Of service which thou renderest.
     By Elizabeth Barrett Browning
