July 2005 Theme ~ "In Celebration of Friendship"
A Life of Friendship
There are so many times in our busy livesWe take for granted the ones we call friends
We ask of them the impossible and know
They will help us to the very end.
We look to our friends when we are sad
We seek them out when lonely times are near
We know they are there when darkness surrounds
And the light at the end of the tunnel isn't clear.
When we are called to Heavens Door I hope
That the Lord looks at His Book of Love
And counts the times we gave to friends
The love we carried to Heaven above.
I hope He says "What a blessing you have been,
To those you truly loved" and then
With a smile and a hug
Lets you and your friends all in.

GOF Friendship
I have some friends Ive never really met;we got connected on the Internet.
In the Garden of Friendship they were found
for this is the place where friendship abounds.
GOF garden gates have been open five years
and so we celebrate with laughter and cheer.
My GOF friends are dear to my heart;
much joy and happiness do they impart.
Some are helpful with HTML
and some cheer me up when I dont feel well.
Some sprinkle sunshine on my day
or shower me with gifts for the holiday.
Some keep me rolling on the floor
with funny happenings and jokes galore.
They take notice if I'm too quiet to long
and they make me feel that I really belong.
The Garden of friendship is a wonderful place
where love and friendship are commonplace.
One of the things that I like the best
is that here in the garden love never seems to rest.

The Garden Party
In a beautiful garden, in a special placewhere love and friendships bloom
you'll find a little party going on
we hope you'll join real soon
The flowers sway and dance and sing
a happy birthday song
they celebrate all through the nite
and all this fifth year long !

Friendship Is Blooming
In this garden of friendshipFlowers have bloomed
Friendships have been made
And there's always more room
Come to this garden
You're welcome within
To the fifth celebration

And decide to come stay

Happy Fifth Birthday, GOF
Five years?? It can't have been that long!The time has passed so fast!
Who knew back then we'd still be here
And GOF would last?
Five years!! Five happy years at that,
In spite of some sad days. . .
We've stayed together through the tears,
Shared hugs and loving ways.
Five years. . .and we're still going strong
And growing stronger yet!
Who could have guessed the best of friends
Were on the internet?
And so we wish a big bouquet
To every member here
Who joins us as we celebrate
The birthday of the year!!

Birthday Friendships
Birthdays come but once a yearWe are celebrating with great cheer.
Having fun and playing games
In one of them we even have secret names.
Each committee and group has a special day
Heralded each in their own unique way.
Friendships strive through out our land
As we reach out and hold another hand.
Soon the celebrating will come to an end
Tired minds will relax and start to mend.
But the friendships started, this I know
Will continue on and continue to grow.
