    For days, I have been looking online for a friendship poem to include in my gift to my bridesmaids.  I'm looking for something classic and timeless.  I'm looking for a real tear-jerker that shows my appreciation for having such wonderful women in my life.  I tried to write one but I'm just not that talented or eloquent.  I'm finding a lot of stuff online that seem a little too juvenile or a little too rhymey (is that a word?!).  I almost gave up on my search but then I thought "the bees!!!!"  (that's exactly what I thought in my head)  So I'm appealing to the most creative and intelligent people out there...the hive!!!

    Please help!

    What about song lyrics?  They are basically poems set to music.  You could even burn them a CD with the song.

     

    Some super cheesy:

    That's What friends are for

    Wind Beneath my wings

     

    Other's less so:

    For Good (from the Broadway show Wicked)

    You've Got a Friend

    Trouble Me (by 10,000 Maniacs)

    The "For Good" lyrics from Wicked are perfect.  That you so much!!!

    I tear up every time I read this poem by Ray Croft:

    Love by Roy Croft
    I love you
    Not only for what you are,
    But for what I am
    When I am with you.
    I love you,
    Not only for what
    You have made of yourself,
    But for what
    You are making of me.
    I love you
    For the part of me
    That you bring out;
    I love you
    For putting your hand
    Into my heaped-up heart
    And passing over
    All the foolish, weak things
    That you can't help
    Dimly seeing there,
    And for drawing out
    Into the light
    All the beautiful belongings
    That no one else had looked
    Quite far enough to find
    I love you because you
    Are helping me to make
    Of the lumber of my life
    Not a tavern
    But a temple.
    Out of the works
    Of my every day
    Not a reproach
    But a song.
    I love you
    Because you have done
    More than any creed
    Could have done
    To make me good.
    And more than any fate
    Could have done
    To make me happy.
    You have done it
    Without a touch,
    Without a word,
    Without a sign.
    You have done it
    By being yourself.
    Perhaps that is what
    Being a friend means,
    After all.
