Friendship

COUNTRY HOMEBOY

Best friends around town,

This good old country homeboy, I found.

He is a true country boy— Oh, how true.

This old southern gal is enchanted by you.

You are a delightful puzzle—complex yet simple,

With layers upon layers of bitter-sweetness.

A shy soul wrapped in a rugged charm,

Pleading to be bared slowly in gentle arms.

Your honeysuckle essence is a tempting treat

That lingers, intoxicating the air I breathe.

You are a country gal's soulful delight,

Her favorite go-to snack.

This good old country homeboy, I found,

my steadfast friend.

I will cherish forever this unexplainable love

And joy-filled laughter to no end.

❤️❤️❤️ Jes-Us Chilling ❤️❤️❤️

Jesus,

you're the cream of the crop,

My MVP!
You're the pep in my step,

the anchor in my storm.
You’re the wake-up call

when I hit the snooze-all.

You are the uber I dial when

my count up past two.
The slap to my hand

that snaps me out of a slump.

You’re deserving of all the

high-fives and fist bumps.

You're the captain of my soul's ship.
It's a quirky lil crew,

not everyone's cup of tea,

and a bit odd too.
But we’re made perfectly

imperfect by you.

Your love doesn't skip a beat

for our chaotic charm.
You love us no less,

accepting all our messy mess.

In Him, I found a forever friend. What more could I ask for?

How To Get A Treat

Hey! My name is Ski,

and I love to wink my beautiful brown eyes.

I do so because it gets to my mom every time.

Lord help her; she is a goner when I smile.

So, like the mischievous dog that I am,

I set the stage so perfectly.

Now, this is no con, trickery, or deceit.

Its just my way of expressing my love

to get a jerky bacon treat.

My Mommy adores me, and she

enjoy my antics and my specialty.

That is, my sad puppy dog face

and sexy little winks.

Every time I do this routine,

her heart skips a beat.

And off she runs to the kitchen

pantry to fetch me a jerky bacon treat.

I can hear the rustling of the snack bag

clatter, or is it just my tummy rattling?

It doesn't really matter, either way,

I’m not taking any chances.

I bark aloud my demands so she clearly

understands, her smile and my jerky

treats; is all I want in hand.

Hi! My name is Ski. My Mom is my best friend but my Grammy, she comes in 2nd place for a close win.

---A Wish Upon A Friend---

A Psalm of Friendship

Today, I share a wish for a cherished friend who is exceptional

and exemplifies the finest human qualities known to men.

It is a privilege to share friendship with someone

who embodies Christlike values such as charity,

knowledge, virtue, patience, and humility I did not know until you.

This is my sincere wish for you today and always……

May God's guidance always be with you.

May His teachings continue to uplift you and lead you to His truth.

Whenever you seek Him, may you find solace in His response time again.

I pray that all your needs are fulfilled as you patiently wait for Him.

I hope that you have clarity in every step you take.

And be ready to help others you meet along the way.

May you show kindness to those who need your assistance,

And overcome any obstacles in your path

that you find to be a resistance.

May you always find the courage to move forward when you face

False accusations and blame.

May you find strength when life becomes mundane.

May you be determined to pursue your God-given goals,

While in the pursuit of uplifting weary souls.

Our friendship is unique and special in every way.

Yet these words, although expressed in a heartfelt way.

Can not fully convey the act of kindness you display.

My friend, you will forever hold a special place in my heart's space.

“A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.” Proverb 17:17

“Never Left My Side”

You were there when my frowns became smiles

and my crying became laughter.

When stumbling blocks became stepping stones

and doubts became a certainty.

You were there when simple choices

turned into regrets and blissful moments

into times of sorrow.

You were there when confusion became

understanding and disappointments happiness.

When fear my courage and weakness my strength.

When lonely hours became comforting hours.

You were there when enemies became friends,

poor to rich, and having less became more.

When hatred became love, envy to goodwill,

receiving to giving, and giving a way of life.

You were there when my darkest hour became

my greatest hour, defeat became my victory.

You were there with me, and in the end,

a new beginning.

Thank you friend for your commitment and

generosity, and for your forever honesty.

I am honored and full of pride to call you

My best friend.

Friends are a gift from God. To gain a friend, you must first show yourself friendly.

“Friend Indeed”

If you ever need a friend, I know of Him.

He that will always be, He that can set you free.

He will keep you in perfect peace and worry-free.

He is compassionate and will suffice your every need.

He that promises life everlasting.

I know a Friend that is exceptional to me.

He is elite, a supreme being, no others deserve higher esteem.

He is a wise, omnipotent, and confident friend.

For His love for me is guaranteed even throughout all eternity.

He is the greatest among all that I know and see.

I don’t worry or fret because my Friend has never failed me.

My burdens are lighter and my days are brighter because of Him.

He is forever by my side, restoring my steps when I’ve lost strive.

He pulls the heavier loads for me when I am much too weak.

He is a true friend, my silent source of strength.

He encourages patience and faith in that which I seek to succeed.

With Him, i’m able to believe and reach for the things put before me.

He is my greatest friend and with him, I am complete.

May I recommend Jesus, my Friend, to thee?

He’s the giver of life and much more abundantly.

All you have to do is ask and accept Him as your friend.

And with a willing heart embrace life with a new start.

Jesus Christ my True Friend Indeed.......

You're Leaving Me

Congratulations on your success,

But I must confess, this leaving mess is causing me stress.

Every time I pass your desk I will think of you

I wonder if it’s true and why I feel so sad and blue.

You are leaving me after all these years and with every day,

It gets harder to hold back these silly tears.

Every time I hear your name my heart skips a beat,

In hope that you come back to claim your seat.

There will be moments when I call your name

From over the wall, forgetting that you’re gone,

Your leaving just seems all so wrong.

We had a routine as we rocked the oldies and sang.

Mixing hard work with a little play was our daily thang.

The FM radio will have to do for now, but it won’t equal

To hearing you sing. As off-beat as it may have been

The sound didn’t matter; it was coming from a friend.

If you leave me now I don’t know if I'll say goodbye,

Because I left my hanky home as I am sure to cry.

But I’ll try to be strong and hold back my tears. Instead,

I’ll focus on all the good you contributed through the years.

Teams are said to be made up of players with “willing hearts”,

But how can that be true without you being apart?

If you insist on leaving, I guess I should say Good Luck,

But I want you to know, that you're leaving freaking sucks!

Oh yeah, one more thing you should know,

That missing name on your card from “All of Us” Is mine,

As I simply chose not to sign.

Farewell, for the time being, my colleague and friend.

I wish you well, let’s get together soon

To toast Mojitos again.

Poem by: Qbenja

"Goodbye to a colleague and friend."

WHAT ARE FRIENDS FOR?

We're friends, what can I say?

My girl and I are good in that way.

We roll tight and protect each other's backs.

If you approach her from the front, she will see you.

If you come from the back, don't worry,

because I've got eyes on you, too.

We don't talk daily, but we learned to cherish every

moment of our "just-because" friend occasions.

I believe our friendship is stronger than most

because we truly live, love, laugh, and play

hard together, which keeps us close.

We are unafraid to stand tall or stand alone.

We offer support in our moments of mistake

and occasionally wrong.

God is the foundation of our friendship

and the greatest treasure we share.

He has brought us together and complemented

us both with hearts that care.

We value each other's unique personalities

and respect our individuality.

Whenever one stumbles, the others offer support.

Our faith in God gives us the strength to stand

together to build an even greater rapport.

In short, we are friends. What more can I say?

If not for the love of God,

Our friendship wouldn't be in place.
