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.

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!
