We Could Be Friends by Myra Cohn Livingston
We could be friends
Like friends are supposed to be.
You, picking up the telephone
Calling me
to come over and play
or take a walk,
finding a place
to sit and talk,
Or just goof around
Like friends do,
Me, picking up the telephone
Calling you.
We All Need Friends author unknown
"Hi," "Hello,"
"Come play with me."
These are friendly words,
you see.
To be a friend
can take awhile,
yet it can start
with just a smile.
I need a friend
to play with me.
I'll be your friend
Since Hanna Moved Away by Judith Viorst
The tires on my bike are flat.
The sky is grouchy gray.
At least it sure feels like that
Since Hanna moved away.
Chocolate ice cream tastes like prunes.
December's come to stay.
They've taken back the Mays and Junes
Since Hanna moved away.
Flowers smell like halibut.
Velvet feels like hay.
Every handsome dog's a mutt
Since Hanna moved away.
Nothing's fun to laugh about.
Nothing's fun to play.
They call me, but I won't come out
Since Hanna moved away.
The Telephone Call by Jack Prelutsky
I was mad and I was sad
and I was all upset,
I couldn't go outside to play,
the weather was too wet.
But then my best friend called me up
witlots of things to say,
we made each other giggle,
I felt better right away.
When you can't think of things to do
and the rain won't ever end,
it's nice to have a telephone
to share things with your friend.
With a Friend by Vivian Gouled
I can talk with a friend
and walk with friend
and share my umbrella
in the rain.
I can play with a friend
and stay with a friend
and learn with a friend
and explain.
I can eat with a friend
and compete with a friend
and even sometimes
disagree.
I can ride with a friend
and take pride with a friend.
A friend can mean
so much to me!
Friends
by Janet C. Miller
Tall friends, short friends,
Skinny and wide;
Red haired, black haired,
Side by side.
Old friends, young friends,
And in-betweens;
Moms and Grandpas,
Tots and teens.
From Washington
To Delaware,
Friends are found
Most anywhere.
It may seem odd
To think and yet;
Friends are strangers
You've never met!
Good Advice by Beatrice Schenk de Regniers
If your best friend's feeling tearful,
Try not to be too cheerful.
Just let her fill your ear full
Of sad tales by the score.
And when she is through,
She'll feel as good as new.
Now you'll be feeling blue.
But that's what friends are for!
There are Days and There are Days by Beatrice Schenk de Regniers
There are days I want to be
all alone
with only me
for company -
me and my cat.
Thare are days like that.
And there are days
(many more)
I don't wnat to be alone
any more.
Then
it seems to me
jokes are funnier,
honey's honey-er,
sun is sunnier
when
I'm with a friend!
How to Be a Friend Pat Lowery Collins
Keep a secret
Tell a wish
Listen
to
a dream.
Bursting
Dorothy Aldis We've laughed until my cheeks are tight.
We've laughed until my stomach's sore.
If we could only stop we might
Remember what we're laughing for.
A Friend Beatrice Schenk de Regniers
Whoever we are,
Whatever we be,
We're friends 'cause I'm me
We're friends 'cause she's she.
(Or because he is he -
Whatever, whatever the case may be.)
A friend
is a friend
is a friend!
The Fight
Helen H. Moore
I have a firend.
We had a fight.
I cried myself
to sleep last night.
And when I see
my friend today,
I'll say, "I'm sorry.
Want to play?"
I hope she'll say
she's sorry, too -
I'm sure she will -
that's what friends do.
We could be friends
Like friends are supposed to be.
You, picking up the telephone
Calling me

or take a walk,
finding a place

Or just goof around
