IKRS Farewell Party !!!

Field of Joys

Sometimes along life's pathways there will come a friend,
Who gets to know you inside out, right to the very end,
The depth and height and width of all that makes you 'you',
And they continue liking you no matter what you do.

They get to see inside of you where others dare not go,
And soon they are a part of you and you find you love them so.
They let you laugh and share your joy, they help you through the day,
And no matter what you've said or done, they never turn away.

Sometimes when things are getting rough, and when the crying's done,
They'll join with you in games and play, just like when you were young,
And had a special playmate who would run the field of joys,
That children find around the bend with other girls and boys.

They're honest and they're faithful, they try never to betray
The precious trust between you as you live from day to day.
It's so hard to express sometimes, and though it might sound odd,
My best way to describe them is they are a gift from God.

And so, my friend, I'm writing with a thankful heart to say
I'm so glad I have a friend like you to help me on my way.
When the ocean of life was rough thank you for being my buoy
But mostly thanks for running with me through the Field of Joys.

Together

Wherever we go,
whatever we do,
we're gonna do it together
Through thick and through thin,
all out or all in,
Through good or bad
or happy or sad
we'll muddle through
whatever we do
Together
Wherever We Go!

A Part of My Life

Somehow, out of all the twists and turns
our lives could have taken,
and out of all the chances
we might have missed,
it almost seems like we were given
a meant-to-be moment . . .
to meet, to get to know each other,
and to set the stage for a special togetherness.
I am so thankful you're in my life.

Friends are like MATH!

They multiply your joy,
And divide your sorrow . . .
They subtract the past,
And add to tomorrow . . .
They calculate the need
Deep in your heart,
And are always greater
Then the sum of their parts!

Friends Are Angels

Our friends are like angels
Who brighten our days
In all kinds of wonderful,
Magical ways.

Their thoughtfulness comes
As a gift from above,
And we feel we're surrounded
By warm, caring love.

Like upside-down rainbows,
Their smiles bring the sun,
And they fill ho-hum moments
With laughter and fun.

Friends are like angels
Without any wings,
Blessing our lives
With the most precious things.

Our Friendship

Our friendship is soothing
Like a warm gentle breeze
A soft,tender rustle
Thru the leaves of the trees . . .

Our friendship can bloom
Like a beautiful spring day
Yours and mine did
In such a wonderful way . . .

Our friendship brings rainbows
After the storm
It appears in the winter
To keep our hearts warm . . .

Our friendship withstands hardships
As the winter wind blows
like a candle in the window
With its soft warm glow.
