Five Poems
(all poems come from www.stresslesscountry.com - go there if you want to read the complete poems.)

Never take friendship for granted
Realize the blessing it is
It is worth more than money
It is a gift of life, always.
(Never take friendship for granted by Catherine Pulsifer)

Just a word of kindly greeting;
Just a thought of other's care;
Just a word of love repeating;
How it lifts the load that's there!
(Fountain of friendship by Hall L. Calhoun)

Who is that friend that loves you, no matters what
They would run through the mud, jump over a hut
Just to be with you
They love you, no matter what you do.
(Loves you no matter what by Catherine Pulsifer)

Life without the friendly greetin'
Of the folks I know so well,
Would be a lonely kind o' life,
Just an empty sort o' shell.
(Living friendly - unknown)

You can buy, if you've got money, all you need to drink and eat,
You can pay for bread and honey, and can keep your palate sweet.
But when trouble comes to fret you, and when sorrow comes your way,
For the gentle hand of friendship that you need you cannot pay.
(Friendship of the good and true - Edgar A. Guest)
