Perfect Friend\nI have found the perfect friend,\nwho'll go with me to the very end.\nFor He knows just where or when I've \nbeen throughout this weary land. \nAnd he guides each step I take and \nalways lends a helping hand.\n\nWhen the storms about me roll,\nhe's the one to whom I go.\nFor he's my rock, my refuge, my \nshelter when the raging winds blow.\nHis strength gives me courage for each \nnew day, while his hand gently holds mine.\n\nWhy not choose this man today?\nO' do not put him on delay!\nFor he died on Cavlary's tree for you and me,\nso we might receive his gift so free.\nAnd one day he'll come to call us home,\nto heaven, forever in eternity be.

Yeah its definitely about Jesus Christ.  "For he's my rock, my refuge" That's from the psalms.  And they talk about Jesus dieing on the cross for all of mans' sins in the last paragraph.  I like it alot

[aside: try not to judge me by what i'm gonna say-- because everything I say is gonna be from my point of view and what I believe.]\n\nfirstly, it's awesome that you're seeking help-- because in a sense-- that's you fighting back.\n\n... i wish i was smarter or more eloquent in the things i say. but i'll give it a shot.\n\nyou said you've become so used to thinking about this everyday that you don't know what you'd be like without it. how are you with it? like-- do you feel a peace when you think of death?\n\nand if so-- is that because you'd be in a better place? or because you just wouldnt be here in this place.\n\nhonestly-- i just wanna say: i dont know why you feel this way. i'm sorry that you do. but you were meant for more than this. in everything I believe inside, you were made with a purpose by a good God who loved you. but there's also satan, whose main goal is just to steal from this good God the very thing He loves-- His creation.\n\nso to me-- the fact that you've struggled with this since you were so young means to me that you were made for something amazing. just because--why else would satan work so hard to take your life and very purpose away if he didn't feel like you'd be something great in life.\n\ni really am grateful you're still here. and that you've been so strong. and i'm sorry if i trivialized anything or offended you in any way.\n\nim not trying to say "oh. you feel this way? ok-- just means you'll grow more and be better off in the end" >> no not at all. \n\nim so sorry that THIS was the hand you were given. but i really do believe that your life is something to be celebrated. that you have a purpose. i believe that for all of us. \n\ni too struggled with something since i was so so young.and it really did become my identity. i struggled with it for about 15 years, until it was like one day-- God just gave me an answer i didnt even know i was looking for.\n\nfor some reason i asked myself that day-- 'why me? why have i struggled with this since i was... so SO young?' \n\nand i felt so strongly on the inside for the first time in my life God saying-- 'because-- satan knew your potential. and what you could be if you got it right'\n\nand it was actually in that moment that i was freed. i really was. it just-- angered me that the devil cost me 15 years of my life-- but i realized that day that the rest of my life was meant for something. that what the freakin devil meant for evil-- God can use for good.\n\nand so that's what He did in me. i teach kids now... and im pretty much trying to help them deal with what i had to. \n\nwhat im trying to say with all this rambling (sorry about that by the by)... is that your life. matters so much. please-- don't end it. and keep up the good fight. because you were meant for something more than what death has to offer.

What the card says is perfect.  Maybe below it just write something like, "Any time you need to talk I'll be there." or "Hope things get better for you."  Something simple, short, and sweet.  You seem like a great friend.  God bless you!

hereThe Final Flight\n\n\n\nDon't grieve for me, for now I'm free,\nI'm following the path God laid for me.\nI took his hand when I heard his call,\nI turned my back and left it all.\n\n\n\nI could not stay another day,\nTo laugh, to love, to work, to play.\nTasks left undone must stay that way,\nI've found that peace at the end of the day.\n\n\n\nIf my parting has left a void,\nThen fill it with remembered joy.\nA friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,\nAh, yes, these things too I will miss.\n\n\n\nBe not burdened with times of sorrow,\nI wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.\nMy Life's been full, I savoured much,\nGood friends, good times, a loved one' touch.\n\n\n\nPerhaps my time seemed all too brief,\nDon't lengthen it now with undue grief.\nLift up your heart and share with me,\nGod wanted me now, He set me free.\n\n\n\nAuthor: Unknown\n\n\n is one, i will keep looking for you!

Divine Master, grant me the Serenity \nTo accept the things I cannot change, \nThe Courage to change those things that I can, \nAnd the Wisdom to know the difference. \nLiving one day at a time, \nEnjoying one moment at a time, \nAccepting hardship as the Pathway to Peace. \n\nLord, make me an instrument of thy Peace;\nWhere there is hatred, let me sow Love;\nWhere there is injury, Pardon;\nWhere there is doubt, Faith;\nWhere there is despair, Hope;\nWhere there is darkness, Light;\nAnd where there is sadness, Joy.\n\nDivine Master, grant that, I may not so much seek\nTo be consoled as to Console;\nTo be understood as to Understand;\nTo be loved as to Love.\n\nFor it is in Giving that, we receive.\nIt is in Pardoning that we are pardoned,\nAnd it is in dying, we are born to eternal life.\nSo mote it be (Amen).

I've always liked this poem...\n\nOne night I had a dream--\nI dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord \nand across the sky flashed scenes from my life. \nFor each scene I noticed two sets of footprints, \none belonged to me and the other to the Lord. \nWhen the last scene of my life flashed before me,\nI looked back at the footprints in the sand.\nI noticed that many times along the path of my life,\nthere was only one set of footprints.\nI also noticed that it happened at the very lowest\nand saddest times in my life. \nThis really bothered me and I questioned the Lord about it. \n"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,\nyou would walk with me all the way,\nbut I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life\nthere is only one set of footprints. \n"I don't understand why in times when I needed you most,\nyou should leave me." \nThe Lord replied, "My precious, precious child,\nI love you and I would never, never leave you\nduring your times of trial and suffering. \n"When you saw only one set of footprints,\nit was then that I carried you."\n\nMary Stevens

Angel Poems\n\n\nFlew down from above,\nTo teach me a lesson\nAbout the powers of love.\nShe whispers to me,\nTake a hold of my hand,\nThere are so many things\nI wish you to understand.\nAbout the powers of love,\nAnd all it can do,\nTo someone who needs\nTo share it with you.\nA pat on the back,\nA kind smile on your face,\nCan make someone's life,\nA much brighter place.\nIt doesn't take much,\nTo show someone you care,\nTo give them the love,\nGod gave you to share.\nSo please keep in mind,\nAll the powers you possess,\nTo grace someone's life,\nWhen they're in distress.\nYou've been put on this earth\nTo bestow the powers of love,\nAnd with those final words,\nShe disappeared up above.

Hiya.  Here's one of my own.  It's depressing, but happiness wasn't a prerequisit.  (By the way, you forgot the "Unstressed/stressed" syllable pattern!)\n\n"Sonnet of Mourning" by Sine Nomine\n\nIt pained me to see others sorely pained;\nLove bade me eagerly to take their stead,\nAnd were I thousand miles away, I strained\nTo loose the tie of anguish, loss and dread.\nNow as I sleep, please know I love you still.\nThough wordless glory crowns my aching heart,\nI'll never sleep and dare to dream until\nYou let me leave and to sweet Grace depart.\n\nDo not weigh down my restful mind with guilt\nThrough heavy tears and lasting mourning sighs,\nFor Heaven's like a finished patchwork quilt\nWith all God's blesséd knots securely tied.\n\nPlease hear my plead and let your crying cease.\nAs I love you, now let me be at peace.

Love knows no ages\nLove knows no religions\nLove knows no colors\nLove knows no nationalities\nLove is fate,\nAnd if i were yours,i would go ahead with no doubt,\nEven if it didnt go on for a long long time\nI still have some sweet moments i've lived sincerely from the bottom of my heart..\nGo Ahead sweety,

Far, far, far away - way\nPeople heard him say - say\nI will find a way - way\nThere will come a day - day\nSomething will be done. Then at last the mighty ship\nDescending on a point of flame\nMade contact with the human race\nAnd melted hearts Now, now, now is the time - time\nTime to be - be - be awareCarter's father saw him there and\nmade contact with the human race at Mildenhall.\nKnew the Rhull revealed to him the \nglowing soul of Heremond the Wake. \nOh, my, something in my eye - eye\nSomething in the sky - sky\nWaiting there for me The outer rope rolls early back\nThe service men were heard to sigh\nFor there revealed in glowing robes\nWas Lucy in the sky\nOh - oh - did you ever know - know\nNever ever will they\nI cannot say \nSomething in his cosmic art\nAnd glowing slightly from his toes\nThe psychic and the nations fly

here u go\nHe said: "I was in my early forties,\n"With a lot of life before me,\n"An' a moment came that stopped me on a dime.\n"I spent most of the next days,\n"Looking at the x-rays,\n"An' talking 'bout the options an' talkin’ ‘bout sweet time."\nI asked him when it sank in,\nThat this might really be the real end?\nHow’s it hit you when you get that kind of news?\nMan whatcha do? \n\nAn' he said: "I went sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,\n"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.\n"And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,\n"And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying."\nAn' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,\n"To live like you were dyin'." \n\nHe said "I was finally the husband,\n"That most the time I wasn’t.\n"An' I became a friend a friend would like to have.\n"And all of a sudden goin' fishin’,\n"Wasn’t such an imposition,\n"And I went three times that year I lost my Dad.\n"Well, I finally read the Good Book,\n"And I took a good long hard look,\n"At what I'd do if I could do it all again,\n"And then: \n\n"I went sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,\n"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.\n"And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,\n"And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying."\nAn' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,\n"To live like you were dyin'." \n\nLike tomorrow was a gift,\nAnd you got eternity,\nTo think about what you’d do with it.\nAn' what did you do with it?\nAn' what can I do with it?\nAn' what would I do with it? \n\n"Sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,\n"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.\n"And then I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,\n"And I watched Blue Eagle as it was flyin'."\nAn' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,\n"To live like you were dyin'." \n\n"To live like you were dyin'."\n"To live like you were dyin'."\n"To live like you were dyin'."\n"To live like you were dyin'."

He is the Vine, He is the Grace\nLook at Him and see the countenance on His face.\nHe came to earth from a foreign land\nHe gave up His heavenly home to walk as a man.\n\nHe taught us of the Father’s love.\nNothing compares to the One from above.\nHe showed us how to walk the chosen path\nAnd how to avoid Satan’s wrath.\n\nHe gave us all a brand new commandment\nHe did it with love and kindness, He didn’t demand it.\nHe simply told us to love one another\nEach and everyone, Mother, Father, Sister or Brother.\n\nFor love is the only foundation\nThrough it, we find our groundation\nBecause of it, He gave up His life so that we might live\nHe gave us all that He had to give\n\nHe came here to set forth the sample\nSo that we could live by His example\nHe gave from His heart, the purest form of love\nThat floated down to earth on the wings of a dove.\n\nChrist came to us not to be served but to serve.  We are to walk in like manner, but never to think that we are equal to him.  He is, always has been and always will be the King.
