why we have friends?

God knew that everyone needs
Companionship and cheer,
He knew that people need someone
Whose thoughts are always near

He knew that we need someone kind
To lend a helping hand,
Someone to gladly take the time
To care and understand.


God knew that we all need someone
To share each happy day,
And to be a source of courage
When troubles come our way

Someone to be true to us
Whether near or far apart,
Someone whose love we can always hold
And treasure in our hearts...


And that's why God gave us friends!

And That's Why I'm Glad He Gave Me You!

Always very thoughtful! I guess you are right having a life without a friend would be extremely daunting and empty I suppose!
cheers
dounting = something that makes you feel frightened and scared

Hi pretty Bahar!
Glad to see your new post, you usually appeare less but write thoughtfully and falsify, vice versa me, come frequently and posting simple writings and my favorite pictures! Anybody can’t live without friends! All of us need to love others or be loved by others!
Having young friends is a positive point for elder people; especially me. I obtain energy from my young classmates! Of course I have some young friends out of our class so I enjoy by being with them although they pretend so do they, but I’m not sure, they want to make me happy or they really like! How do you think about it? Why I prefer young people for communication.
And about you?! As I’ve told before, you are a good friend! Did you understand? What I mean?
Best wishes
Homa

Hi There ,
Have you noticed that Dear Bahar have inspired us to thinking and speaking about friend ? I want to say some words to my dear friend Homa and I prefer to share it with you all , too :

Dear Homa first of all don't doubt about your friendships . I 'm sure if you had some young friends the reason is your fabulous character not other things . Please don't spoil your mind with thinking that they just want to make you happy . Being friend is not some thing that we can pretend to it .If some one wants to pretend friendship it will be reveal very soon So Believe yourself !It 's your personality that attract people towards you .

Secondly as I have experienced being friend with people younger or elder than me , I believe that in friendship age is not much important.we make friends because we have some thing in common with each other and because we can understand each other and etc . The reason that some times we can't make friends with people in our age is that we can't find some one like ours .

Finally hope to be friends for ever
Cheers

dear bahar, thank you for your interesting article. I've found some ways of being good friend:
6 Ways To Be A Good Friend
1)Spend time together. If you can’t go for walks or to yoga class together, then telephone or email your friend regularly. The conversations needn’t be long or personal; those quick “I’m thinking of you” moments can go a long way in making a strong support network.
2)Make friends a priority. Maybe you “should” clean the house, go grocery shopping, or watch tv (some people feel they should do that!). But give those “shoulds” the brush and prioritize your friendships. There will be plenty of time for those “shoulds” when you’re dead. For now, think about the health benefits of friendship.
3)Be there for the good and bad. Show up for the funerals and the weddings, the surgeries and the celebrations! Be sincerely sad or genuinely happy for your friend – and include them on the good and bad in your life, too. One way to be a good friend is to be inclusive.
4)Don’t keep score. Who called who last? Who bought lunch last? Who spent the most on Christmas gifts? Who forgot whose birthday? Who cares? If you have a good friend, cut a little slack. If your friendship really isn’t that great, then maybe you need to re-evaluate it. The health benefits of friendship will outlast the score-keeping cards.
5)Notice the little stuff. The conversations that matter the most are the quick little ones that last only a few minutes. It’s not always the deep long heart-to-hearts that bond friends together -- it's the day to day minutiae of everyday life. One way to be a good friend is to have short, sweet conversations.
6)Focus on the positive. We all have quirks and weaknesses; focusing on your friend’s strengths and wonderful qualities will keep your friendship alive and strong. To be a good friend, forget about the things you wish were different.

Dear Bahar!
Your comment really embarrassed me! How can I answer your kindness? I proud if you ask me some question you might ask from your mother .Mrs. Ojagee is a lucky lady by having a daughter like you! Happy, polite, full energy, honest and……! My younger daughter Sona was like you until some years ago! She was talking always, when she’d catch one of us, was talking about every thing. Some people like you have words for saying.
And now I missed her talkativeness! May be she thinks is a lady now so should talk less?!
Any way I love you very much, and hope to be successful in your life!
Please give my regard to your mom!
Kisses

I have a friend that we were very very close to each other but unfortunatly nowadays
we have some problom and we arenot as close as we were.
In that time we were always with together and we could speak alot but these days
we have not enough time to see each other and speak,because of that we missed
each other,but I hope that this problom will be solved fast.
we need a good friend in every time of our life,a friend can be mother,father,sister
and the most important one a husband(as you know(hehehe)),... .
I thank you because in this comment I learned that how we write the word of friend,
