You are a delicate rose
In a weed filled garden
Finding your true friends and foes
God is letting us grow and deepen
Our friendship into a whole new understanding
With where we are right now
It really is hard truly comprehending
Because sometimes words are not enough to show
We both just need to trust our hearts and each other
Just know without a doubt
That we�re sisters in Christ
And we love one another
We still have to tell even if we must scream and shout
But one of these days that�s going to change
Something will happen that will put us in a place
At first it will seem so strange
When we see each other face to face
We won�t have to just rely on each other�s word
But with action and expressions
All these things will soon be seen and heard
And we won�t be asking so many questions
For the time being
All I can do is only say
How I�m truly feeling
If I have to I�ll say it every day
I love you

Understanding where guys come from
Isn�t exactly what any girl can do
For her, it isn�t very easy
To get what he is doing
Guys don�t understand as well
He doesn�t seem to want
To try to see where she�s coming from
The way he treats her
Is not how a friend should act
He told her that they would be friends
The next day he made her feel
Like she wanted to crawl in a corner and die
All she did was tell him how she feels
He takes it the wrong way
She just needed to get it off her chest
He doesn�t understand why she told him
Now he still doesn�t talk to her
He�s shattered her heart
She has her friends for support
But she won�t get past what happened
She is loved but not the way she wants
But time will tell what will happen
I wish you the best
I care about you
And you know we are here for you

My love for you
Is not an emotion
It is a decision
I have decided
To love you
Like Christ�s decision
To love us
So much to die for us
My decision
Is to stay by your side
No matter what happens
Whether you�re happy
Whether you�re sad
If you need me
If you don�t
Like me or not
I have decided
To love you
Unconditionally
Like Christ�s love
So strong to die for
I will do anything
Even give my life
Just to save yours
I will sacrifice what I can
As a decision
Not an emotion
Like the love
By Shonda Kelley
Ever since I can remember
I prayed every night and day
For God to send you to me
To help show me that He cares
He waited till now to put you in my life
I�m so glad He had me wait
Because you are a great friend
Even to this day, I pray for you
That Christ would show you
How much I really care
How much you really mean to me
Friendship to me is more then hanging out and having fun
It�s the awesome gift that God gives each of us in His own time
God put you in my life for a reason
Even though it may not be very long before we go our separate ways
When we look back at the memories we made
We can see what God�s plan was
We had our days when we did not want to talk, but we knew
That we could not be mad for long
I�m truly sorry for what I have done
For the pain that I have caused
I pray that you will forgive me
So that we both can move on
