Best Friends Forever Poems

1. My Best Friend - Anonymous

I sit alone thinking of you
and all the things we've both been through
You are my soul mate, my very best friend
and I know you'll be there until the end
Your shoulder to cry on will soon be gone
who will be there when something is wrong
When times are tough you're always there
It shows me just how much you care
Although were going separate ways
you're in my heart till my final days
Nothing can make a person see
how special a friend you are to me
I dreamed of a friend just like you
and finally my dream came true
Nothing else could ever fulfill
everything you're friendship will
You understand a side of me
that no one else could ever see
You know what’s wrong before I cry
but if I do, you will always know why
A friend like you is hard to find
you put my problems all behind
You were there when no one cared
the best times were the ones we shared
We've been together through good and bad
you made me laugh when i was sad
And no one else could ever be
as good of a friend you are to me
Our time together is wilting away
more and more everyday
But now until the very end
you'll always be my special friend.

2. Friendship - By H. W. Longfellow

I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?
Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.

3. To A Friend- By Matthew Arnold

Who prop, thou ask'st in these bad days, my mind?
He much, the old man, who, clearest-souled of men,
Saw The Wide Prospect, and the Asian Fen,
And Tmolus hill, and Smyrna bay, though blind.
Much he, whose friendship I not long since won,
That halting slave, who in Nicopolis
Taught Arrian, when Vespasian's brutal son
Cleared Rome of what most shamed him. But be his
My special thanks, whose even-balanced soul,
From first youth tested up to extreme old age,
Business could not make dull, nor passion wild;
Who saw life steadily, and saw it whole;
The mellow glory of the Attic stage,
Singer of sweet Colonus, and its child.

4. True Friends – By Sir Walter Scott

When true friends meet in adverse hour;
'Tis like a sunbeam through a shower.
A watery way an instant seen,
The darkly closing clouds between.

5. A Friend is a Treasure- By Jean Kyler McManus

A friend is someone we turn to,
   When our spirits need a lift,
A friend is someone we treasure,
   For true friendship is a gift.

A friend is someone we laugh with,
   Over little personal things,
A friend is someone we're serious with,
   In facing whatever life brings.

A friend is someone who fills our lives,
   With beauty and joy and grace.
And makes the world that we live in
   A better and happier place!

6. When you are old - by William Butler Yeats

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
7. Our Friendship – By Anon
Friends will come and friends will go, even best friends.
The seasons change and it will show,
I will age and so will you,
But our friendship stays, strong and true.

8. Light of Friendship- By Anonymous

I've seen the light
And it's in you,
In everything you are
And in everything you do

It's a perfect light
That shines for all to see
It radiates from you
And has pierced the heart of me

The light is from a friend.
It's a light that keeps me warm.
It lets me know how loved I am,
And keeps me safe from harm

To you my friend I am thankful,
In each and every way.
For you lift my spirits up,
With every passing day

To know that you are there for me
It makes me feel alive
Because it is your friendship's light
Upon which my love thrives

"Thank you" isn't good enough
But they're the only words I know
It is your light of friendship
That gives my world it's glow
