FRIENDSHIP QUOTES/POEMS
Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Walk beside me and be my friend.
- Albert Camus (also attributed to Maimonidies).
A friend is a gift you give yourself.
- Robert Louis Stevenson
Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
- Helen Keller
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art...
It has no survival value; rather is one of those things that give value to survival.
- C. S. Lewis
Do not save your loving speeches.
For your friends till they are dead.
Do not write them on their tombstones,
Speak them rather now instead.
- Anna Cummin
Best friends are like diamonds, precious and rare.
False friends are like leaves, found everywhere.

How lucky I am to have known someone who was so hard to say goodbye to.

A friend is like an oreo, its not always that great, but it always gets better!
- Erin Westbrook
I'd like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me. . .
I'd like to be the help you've always been glad to be;
I'd like to mean as much to you each minute of the day, as you have meant, old friend of mine, to me along the way.

This poem was originally written by Randy "to my little sister when I left to live in South America for a missionary assignment". It has since been submitted by "Anon" as a reminder to their little sister that "our friendship will never change when I go to college."Below is Randy's original version.
LEAVING YOU
© Randy Dix
Leaving you will be so hard
I know that we will be scarred.
Through the years we have grown up
Now we are about to split up.
It hurts me inside
To know that you will confide
In someone else who isn't me
But they will never be what I try to be.
I'll always be there for you
And I'll always stay true.
You are a part of me
That everyone will see.
You are my sister ( brother, in this case) and friend
And we'll be that way until the end.
Don't ever let anyone take my place
Because they will never face
All the times that we've shared
Even when we never really cared.
All our memories will be locked up tight
Even all our stupid fights.
The laughs, the tears, the cries, the fears
Have built up through the years.
I'll never let us be apart
And you will always remain in my heart.
Farewell, My Friends

My friends to you
I bid goodbye
To the friendship that brought me sky
The year has been swell
As if coming from a wishing well
But as all things do
I have to bid adieu
How it pains me to
But there's nothing I can do
Thank you for the memories
The laughter and the tears
They'll linger in my heart
As if we never part
If by chance we meet again
May it be full of blessings in the rain
Yet for now all that I can say
Is to God for you I'll pray

Study is the bane of childhood, the oil of youth, the indulgence of adulthood, and a restorative in old age.
