page revised 980714 FRIENDSHIP POEM by the students of Mr. Canu's bilingual third grade at San Elizario Elementary School January 27, 1998

Roses are red. Skies are blue. Sugar is brown. The world is great. But friendship is the greatest of all. Friendship is like honey in the mouth. Friends are like pets, because dogs are our best friends. Friends are like siblings, because they share with us. Friends are like being together in school. When I am with my friends, I am like a dove flying in the sky. Friends are cherished like birds. Friends are not just for St.Valentine's, but for our whole life. Friendship is a beautiful gift from God. With my friends, I feel that I am in very special company, like the petals of a single flower. Friends are good and they help us in our mistakes and bad times, they visit us when we are in the hospital, they give us money when we really need it, they appreciate us and they love us. Dear friends, I am here awaiting your return, so that we can reopen that great friendship between us, and may no one in the whole world undo this great friendship, and my only wish is that you be my friends for the remainder of our lives. Only mighty death may destroy this greatest of friendships. Friends, do not grieve if I should die. Death is our friend and gives repose to our bodies and frees our souls to roam throughout the heavens. Friends are like dogs. A friend is like a beautiful fragrant thornless red rose in your hand. Great is the world, greater yet is our friendship. Friends are very good. When I am with my friends we feel like doves flying in the sky. Friends help each other and we can play, we can go out together and talk, we can exchange letters with beautiful thoughts. Some of my friends are animals: they are dogs. To have a friend is like having a sibling. My best friend is my twin sister. My friends are like a little puppy that I care for in the park. Friends are like the sunshine which wakes you in the morning. My best animal friends are puppies and bears. *

Friendship A - Z

(adapted from the Internet)

A Friend ...

Accepts you as you are,

Believes in you,

Cherishes you,

Doubts you not,

Encourages you,

Forgives your mistakes,

Gives unconditionally,

Helps you,

Invites you over,

Judges not,

Knows you at your best,

Loves you for who you are,

Misses you when you're away,

Never nags,

Offers support,

Praises you,

Quarrels not,

Remembers your best moments,

Sympathizes with you,

Trusts you,

Understands you,

Values you,

Watches out for you,

X-pects the best from you,

Yearns for the better you,

Zooms in on your higher goals.

A FRIEND (poem found on the Internet)

There's lots of things

With which I'm blessed,

My problems have been few,

But of all, this one's the best:

To have a friend like you.

In times of trouble

Friends will say,

"Just ask, I'll help you through it."

But you don't wait for me to ask,

You just get up and do it!

And I can think

of nothing more

That I could wisely do,

Than know a friend,

And be a friend,

And have a friend like you.
