The Greatest Prize

[Meant To be]

My Greatest Prize
It seems as each year ends,
I look back and think of my friends,
What I did right what I did wrong,
Who came into my life and who is gone.
But every year there are those who remain,
Looking only for friendship nothing else to gain.
They have stayed by me through good and bad,
Smiled when I am happy held me when I've been sad.

After so many years you begin to realize,
That a friend is life's greatest prize,
Not the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow,
That we seem to seek where ever we go.
So as I grow older and begin another New Year's Day,
I will thank God for those friends He sent my way.
And my New Years resolution will always be,
To thank Him again for every breath of life He's given me.

Then I will pray He will show me the way,
Give me wisdom and guide me through each day.
And most of all at the end of each year,
Keep by me those friends I will always hold so dear.
And as I make new friends I'll treasure the old,
For the first are silver the latter gold

Having true friends is a blessing indeed

And my New Years resolution will always be,
To thank Him again for every breath of life He's given me.

Most people walk in and out of your life, but only

[Romanciah]

When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it.
Edward W. Howe


When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.
Henri Nouwen


We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence.
Joseph Roux

It's one of the best habits in life to sit with oneself at the end of each year and do that little recalculation to all of those who involve your life


And guess what

It's amazing when you recall all the beautiful and great moments you had with the ones that you intend to keep


I bet friends are gods gift to us to endure life

Meant To Be

I wish you a happy, full of amusements new year

[library2]

thanks for the best prize of the year you posted
it has been a long time since I read something deep and touching like it
in this holy day, i ask Allah to reward you and your parents

Ment to be,
what an outstanding poem you brought up here, its valuable and shows what a true friendship is all about

I can say nothing but 2 thumbs up cause I truely Like it

:I believe in the saying
" A friend in need is a friend indeed "

Real friends are the ones who always be
there for you... they care for your feelings, support your efforts, believe in your dreams and encourage you to achieve them
and the most important thing is they never let you down

Thanks for the nice poem
Bless yah brother

Yeah now I'm totally glad, coz I don't like when someone writes a usual comment we all know it which is thanks or thank you and then leaves, this is the reply I'm talking about, it's great to share us what you have as I know and realize that so many people have such great thoughts to let us read

Great words and quotes you shared us down here sister

Thank you so much for that, so keep it up
